Linux One Liners

I wanted a place to put quick command that I use. I sometimes forget, and wanted a quick reference for myself.

Remove backup files recursively (bash/sh):

find ./ -name '*~' -exec rm '{}' \; -print

Rip CD to one wav file:

cdparanoia -w

-
Rip CD, one track/wav file:

cdparanoia -w -B

-
YUM update one set of files. (This pulls all rpms that begin with SDL, I like this example because it whose awk example and xagrs):

yum list updates | awk '/^SDL/ {printf("%s ",$1)}' | xargs yum upgrade -y

Also done with:

yum upgrade SDL*

This is a collection of notes, so other can know how I setup this site.

This site has been setup using the following:

Insert page – I have used this to setup static text areas on my home page as WordPress Pages
Secure Files – I am using this plugin to deal with the file storage of releasing files. This allows me to keep the files outside of the executable area of the rest of the site.
Theme – ??????
