List the commands

[ashvala]

A thread game where you have to just write a bash command

Ill start: ls

[Lord Illidan]

echo hello
EDIT : If someone feels the urge to write a dangerous command like rm, please do say that it's dangerous beforehand...not after someone wrecks his/her system.

[Tyche]

man [just about every name I can think of, and many I can't] :-)

[yabbadabbadont]

NextPage=$(cat $NextPage.html |\
grep "page[1-9]" |\
grep '/">next' |\
sed "s:^.*/$Category/$Name/::" |\
sed 's:/">.*$::')

From a bash script of mine. ;)

while true; do sleep $(($RANDOM/5000)) && beep -f $((RANDOM/10)) -l $(($RANDOM/100)) ; done
If you have the program beep installed this will make your computer randomly beep in different tones.:lolflag:
(press Ctrl+C to stop the madness :lol:)

I used to do something similar to other users of a Unix system on which I was root. :twisted:

(their text used to randomly change colors too :lol:)

[xyz]

I found these H E R E (http://frankmash.blogspot.com/2006/03/linux-commands-funny-linux-commands.html)

but they don't work for me. If someone can tell me why...Maybe they will for you.


% cat "food in cans"
cat: can't open food in cans

% nice man woman
No manual entry for woman.

% "How would you rate Quayle's incompetence?
Unmatched ".

% Unmatched ".
Unmatched ".

% [Where is Jimmy Hoffa?

% If I had a ( for every $ the Congress spent, what would I have?
Too many ('s.

[FuturePilot]

They don't work for me either. :confused:

Here's my command
cat

[yabbadabbadont]

@xyz & FuturePilot: I think that you have to be using the C shell (csh) in order to get that output.

find /media/music -type f \( -name "*mp3" -o -name "*ogg" \) -print0 | xargs -0 mv -t /media/removable/music/lossy

[-grubby]

dir

[FranMichaels]

I use this one all the time


history


Lists your previous entered commands, with a number on the left.
Let's say this came up


414 cd audacious-plugins.hg/


To execute that again
type

!414


Will I get in trouble if I mention another command :razz:

grep

try this


history | grep cd


It will return every line with 'cd' in it.

I use these two commands all the time, saves on typing!

:KS

[init1]

kill :twisted:

[lespaul_rentals]

killall <name of application>

Kills the application and eliminates it from memory.

[yabbadabbadont]

export LESSHISTFILE="-"
unset HISTFILE

Stops the less utility (first line) and the bash shell (second) from saving any command history files. I have those lines in my ~/.bashrc file.

[Overbyte]

Of course, everyone's favorite exercise!
$ cat>fibonacci
# Overbyte is really geeky, don't date him
echo Enter a number:
read num
x=0
cur=1
prev=0
temp=0

while [ x -le num ]
do
echo -n prev
temp=cur
let cur=cur+prev
prev=temp
done
echo

<Press Enter then CTRL-D>

$chmod +x fibonacci
$fibonacci
Enter a number: 5
0 1 1 2 3

$

To get the % jokes you need to go to the C shell :)
$ csh
% make love
make: Don't know how to make love. Stop.
% exit
$ echo Now back to bash
Now back to bash
$


Don't know if that script works, made it up quickly in Notepad, but you get the idea :D
Just my 2 cents :popcorn:

[runemaste644]

xkill
Gives you a skull and crossbones cursor and allows you to kill a window

Why do I get the feeling I'm playing an old sierra game :)


sudo fdisk -l

For viewing you partitions

sysadmins from hell !

----
sudo -i
become root, get rid of the endless sudo's when you need to run multiple commands as root

shred -fuzv file_whatever
...when you really want to delete something.

[yabbadabbadont]

...when you really want to delete something.

Not really. Read the warnings on the author's website for shred, wipe, and similar utilities. With the advent of journaling filesystems and hard drives that do automatic sector relocation, short of physical destruction of the media, there really isn't any way to eliminate all traces from a determined attacker. However, since you probably don't want to destroy your drive, a reasonably secure way of using shred (and other similar utilities) is to use it on the device containing the filesystem in order to wipe the entire filesystem. (/dev/hda1 for example)

You're right.
I don't use shred to wipe drives. Only as a 'delete' tool.

echo -en "Viva\f"; sleep 1; echo -en "Pink\f"; sleep 1; echo -en "Floyd\f"; sleep 1; echo -en ":)\n"

[FuturePilot]

echo -en "Viva\f"; sleep 1; echo -en "Pink\f"; sleep 1; echo -en "Floyd\f"; sleep 1; echo -en ":)\n"

What does this do?

[yabbadabbadont]

What does this do?
