I'm starting to add content to my measley web page. Over the last day or two I've started to compile a list of my favorite shell hacks. Some of them I've seen various places and others I've come up with independently.
Anyway, I'd love to hear from all of you what you think the most essential or just downright cool shell hacks are that you've run across. Here's my page: http://www.mcnabbs.org/andrew/linux/shellhacks/ One of my favorites is a step beyond Find's "-exec" capability which allows you to do anything you want. Unlike -exec, you can use pipes, conditions, expressions, loops---anything the shell can interpret. What are the coolest shell hacks you've seen? -- Andrew McNabb http://www.mcnabbs.org/andrew/ PGP Fingerprint: 8A17 B57C 6879 1863 DE55 8012 AB4D 6098 8826 6868
