KRM UNIX Tips

• rename _-_ _ *.mpg will replace all instances of _-_ with _ in all files with an .mpg extension
• zip -r file.zip file_to_zip (add -0 to skip compression)
• find ./ -size +138117c ("c" is for kilobytes)
• BIN and CUE files can be easily burned with K3b, choose burn image and pick the CUE file (or maybe the BIN file, don't remember)
• Check XFS fragmentation with: xfs_db -c frag -r /dev/hda7
• Defrag XFS with: xfs_fsr /test/movies/* or xfs_fsr /dev/hda7
• to copy an HD: dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdb bs=1k count=`cat /proc/ide/hda/capacity`
• to determine what shell you are using: ps -p $$
• xrdb -load .Xresources (to reload Xresources after file edits)
• cdrecord -v dev=/dev/sg2 speed=12 -audio -pad /XFS/song1.wav /XFS/song2.wav /XFS/song3.wav
• To normalize (in relation to themselves) all wav files in a dir normalize -m *.wav, use before burning an audio CD
• To put files on tape: tar -cvf /dev/nst0 ./files
• To list the contents of a tar archive in a text file: tar -tvf /dev/st0 > mytape.tarlist
• use Shift + Numlock to turn on keypad mouse mode in X11
• tar cvf f.tar --exclude "/home/dave/GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker/Themes" /home/dave/GNUstep The exclude line must come before the dir to make the tar from there cannot be a trailing / after the dir to tar up full paths must be used
• to cancel a cupsd print job: lprm -
• good rsync command: rsync -ahz --progress text_files home:~/backs/ (NOTE: do not put a trailing slash at the end of "text_files" or it will just transfer the files, skipping the actual dir, thus making a big mess.)
• use ssh to execute a command on a remote system: ssh kevin@remote_system rm /test/file_to_delete (NOTE: the ~ shortcut for your home dir will not work with this command.)
• date MMddhhmm
• lame --decode myfile.mp3 myfile.wav or mpg123 -w myfile.wav myfile.mp3
• CRON FORMAT: minute hour dom month dow user cmd
• rec -c 1 -d /dev/dsp -s w test.wav
• rec -d /dev/dsp -c 2 -v 5 --format=s --size=w -r 44100 song$1.wav
• mount -t smbfs -o username=xxx,password=xxx //ntserver/data /mnt/ntmount
• mkdosfs -F 32 /dev/sda1 (for FAT32)
• convert *.jpg *.pdf ImageMagik
• lsof /XFS/data (to see files in use)
• to convert an *.img file into an *.iso file: ccd2iso file.img file.iso
• mysql date format yyyymmdd
• To make a screen shot in X11 xwd > file.xwd, now click anywhere on the screen.
• To convert the above screenshot to a jpeg run mogrify -format jpeg file.wxd
• dvdauthor useage, dvdauthor -o dirname -x dvd.xml the -o dirname tells the dir and the -x dvd.xml points it to the config file. The dir is where it will build the DVD structure, the config file tells it where the current video files are located.
• To make a ¥ symbol in HTML: ¥
• To update an optical drive firmware under Linux, use wine. It works just fine.
• Remember lsusb, lsdev and lsscsi (and sometimes scsiinfo)
• To setup an ssh tunnel ssh -N targetcompname -L localport/localhost/remoteport
• To seach bash history press Ctrl-r within the bash shell. You can also grep the .bash_history file.

lsusb, lsscsi, lsdev, scsiinfo -l, scanpci, lspci -v, w, udevinfo, rescan-scsi-bus, sshfs, wget

Ctrl-s and Ctrl-q are used to manage flow control in the UNIX terminal. If you press Ctrl-s the terminal will suspend and not show any more 
data on the screen. I do not believe that this has anything to do with stopping or freezing any processes running from that shell.
pressing Ctrl-q will resume the shell
Ctrl-\ can be used if Ctrl-c doesn't kill an app
Ctrl-h can be used as a backspace to delete characters from the command line
Ctrl-u can be used to erase the entire line

screen -r will open screen and resume your previous session 
screen -dr detaches your current session and reattaches you from where you are (good encase you left screen running at work and need to attach to it from home).	
Ctrl-a d will detach you from screen and drop you down to a "normal" command prompt 
Ctrl-a n will switch to the next window
Ctrl-a c will create a new window
Ctrl-a " shows you a list of the current available windows
Ctrl-a A will allow you to name a window
Ctrl-a ? will list all available commands
