Kill annoying processes that match a pattern

So, there was a bunch of annoying processes named wit a pattern and I wanted to kill all of them

Here is the script (I know this can be done in a much cleaner way in awk, but I like this way)


#!/bin/sh

P="master(-worker)?"

PS=/bin/ps

SED=/bin/sed

KILL=/bin/kill

GREP=/bin/grep

CUT=/usr/bin/cut

$KILL `$PS ax | $GREP -E $P | $GREP -v grep | $SED -e 's/^\ \+//g' | $CUT -d ' ' -f 1 | $GREP -E '^[[:digit:]]+'`

Delete temp files and directories

% while sleep 0.1 ; do if [ $(($RANDOM % 2)) -eq 0 ] ; then rmdir -v `mktemp -d` ; else rm -v `mktemp` ; fi ; done ;

  = ^ . ^ =

show my ip address

#!/bin/sh

IP=/bin/ip

SED=/bin/sed

CUT=/usr/bin/cut

IF=en0

if [ ! -z ${1} ]

then

  IF=${1}

fi

$IP addr show dev $IF | $SED -n 3p | $SED -e 's/\ \+/\ /g' -e 's/\/.*$//g' | $CUT -d ' ' -f 3

Monitoring my network traffic

Today I wrote this simple script to monitor my network traffic. I release this script under GPLv3

Enjoy

#!/bin/sh

# monitor-traffic.sh - Monitor network traffic excluding common requests

# Andres Hernandez - Tonejito

TCPDUMP=/usr/sbin/tcpdump

IP=/sbin/ip

DEV=en1

ADDR=`$IP addr show dev $DEV | grep 'inet ' | cut -d ' ' -f 6 | cut -d '/' -f 1`

$TCPDUMP -ni $DEV "host $ADDR and port not (67 or 68 or 80 or 443 or 1863 or 5222 or 587 or 993 or 995)"

zerofree - Zero out space on a virtual machine

Today, I had to shrink a virtual machine size for deployment.

I like the zerofree utility that clears the unallocated blocks in a ext2/ext3/ext4 filesystem.

Take a look at the code snipplet

First go to single user

# init 1

Then do the magic

# for i in `mount | grep sda | grep ext | cut -b 9` ; do mount -o remount,ro /dev/sda$i && zerofree -v /dev/sda$i && mount -o remount,rw /dev/sda$i ; done ;

And here is a sample on a VirtualBox VM
