How to download images in a gallery where a simpleviewer is used as a flashviewer in front:
U=http://www.simpleviewergallery-somewhere-host.NETNET/gallery ; for a in `wget -q -O- $U/gallery.xml | egrep -o "filename>[^<]+" | cut -d\> -f2 ` ; do wget $U/images/$a ; done

On a standard photo Gallery, you can select to mount Gallery on your desktop with a WebDAV client. I searched for an easy solution to mount webdav from the browser but was not able to find any scripts doing so with only one click. See the first picture to see how you find the link on a Gallery 2.0.
Here is the simple script: (Read more for an advanced script)
#!/bin/sh DAVURL=`cat "$1" | grep ":url" | egrep -o "http[^< \"]+"` DIR=`echo $DAVURL | egrep -o "[a-zA-Z0-9\.]" |xargs | sed s/\ //gi` MOUNTPATH="/media/webdav.$DIR" gksu -- mkdir $MOUNTPATH gksu -- mount.davfs -onoaskauth $DAVURL $MOUNTPOINT nautilus $MOUNTPOINT

How often haven’t I needed to convert a Epoch timestamp (unixtime) to Human readable format?
From commandline:
date -d @1000000000
(replace 1000000000 with your epoch, needs newer version of date)

I got this error after a upgrade of perl on my ubuntu desktop station:

Oneliner to download countries in .csv files. Great for building f.ex firewall (iptables?) rules with special rules for countries:
for a in `wget -q -O- http://nirsoft.net/countryip/ |egrep -o "\"..\.html" |sed -e s/^\"// -e s/\.html//` ; do wget http://nirsoft.net/countryip/$a.csv ; done
A ssh tunnel will slow down the mouse pointer which can result in a slow response on the client machine. But it will encrypt and secure the input information like your passwords typed on the keyboard. Synergy sends these unencrypted over the network.
Here is how to do it:
On the machine you are using(typing on), run synergy bound to the lo (localhost) interface. Synergys will act as a keyboard and mouse server for the machines you want to control. Do it like this:
synergys -a localhostRemember that you need to have a /etc/synergy.conf for synergys: On the machine you using(typing on). There you need to specify that SynclientName has access to connect to you.
Then, start the ssh port-tunnel by forwarding port 24800 on localhost yourmachine connecting to it’s own localhost on port 24800:
ssh -R localhost:24800:localhost:24800 yourmachine
Start the synergy client on the machine you want to remotely control and connecting it to localhost (which is ssh-tunneled to yourmachine)
DISPLAY=:0 sudo synergyc -n SynclientName localhost
This was only a small howto on connecting two linux machines with synergy.
A small script to download over 6000 free TrueType Fonts from a webpage.
This script should be for learning purpose only. Removing XX makes you guilty!

Find directories in the directory you are standing in:
-maxdepth 1 -type d
Exclude the first ‘.’ :
-mindepth 1
Remove the ./ part from the list:
sed s@^.\/@@gi
Tar-gzip the directory with compression 1 for faster network transfer:
tar -cv $a | gzip -1
Send the file to the dd program:
ssh -l user server "dd of=/path/to/$a.tar.gz"
Wrapping it into a small example script:
for a in `find . -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -type d | sed s@^.\/@@gi`; do (tar cv $a | gzip -1) | ssh -l user server "dd of=/path/to/$a.tar.gz" ; done
I suggest you install a ssh-key before doing this, or you will have to type the user password for each directory. This script does not support spaces in directory names.
The script below handle directories with space in them, just like “Document and Settings”.
I print each file (%p) with a colon at the end. The seperator used by the for-loop is also the colon which is defined by the IFS variable.
IFS=":" for a in `find . -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -type d -printf '%p:' | sed s@^\".\/@\"@gi`; do (tar cv $a | gzip -1) | ssh -l username servername "dd of='/outputdir/$a.tar.gz'" ; done unset IFS

Here is a oneliner of how to download avg definitions. For the full version updates, just change free.avg.com to www.avg.com on the oneliner.
wget -q -O - http://free.avg.com/download-update | grep "http://[^\"]*\.bin" -o | xargs wget
Here is a small script to download updates:
cd /path_for_updates/avg/free for a in `wget -q -O - http://free.avg.com/download-update | grep "http://[^\"]*\.bin" -o` do f=`basename $a` test -r $f || wget $a done cd /path_for_updates/avg/full for a in `wget -q -O - http://www.avg.com/download-update | grep "http://[^\"]*\.bin" -o` do f=`basename $a` test -r $f || wget $a done
Here is a improved downloader for AVG:
cd /downloadpath/ for a in `(wget -q -O - "http://www.avg.com/download?prd=ibw"; wget -q -O - "http://www.avg.com/download?prd=afe"; wget -q -O - "http://free.avg.com/download?prd=afe"; wget -q -O - "http://www.avg.com/download?prd=ibw") | egrep "http://[^\"]*\.(bin|exe|sh|deb|gz|rpm|rar|iso|zip)" -o| sort | uniq` do echo $a f=`basename $a` test -r $f || wget $a done
