Using cut command with cat
Sometimes when i am writing a script and i want to find out the name of the server, network type...etc i use the below command.
I use cat to screen all the file content, i use grep after to find specific line then i cut only specific part.
Command:
cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 | grep -i TYPE | cut -d "=" -f 2
Output:
"Ethernet"
Explanation:
grep -i type - Find line which has type
cut -d "=" -f 2 - use "=" as a delimeter and -f 2 means show the second column.
Another example:
if you have a file which contains
type=3=4=5=6
Then you use cat that file and -d "=" and -f 3 then the output will be '4' as 4 is the third column.
Change text color using tput
You can change text output color/bold/italic/backgroun color using tput.
Example:
echo "$(tput smul)$(tput setaf 1)Text$(tput sgr0)":
Output:
Explanation
$(tput smul) - Underline
$(tput setaf 1) - Text color is red
$(tput sgr0) - this part you should put it at the end to get the text back to normal, if you don't put it all the tyle will be applied to all the next written text.
Sort processes by CPU usage
Command
ps -e --sort -pcpu -o comm,pcpu,user,pid | head -11
Output
COMMAND %CPU USER PID
systemd 50.0 root 1
kthreadd 44.0 root 2
ksoftirqd/0 38.0 root 3
kworker/u30:10 0.0 root 6
migration/0 8.0 root 7
rcu_bh 0.0 root 8
rcu_sched 0.0 root 9
watchdog/0 0.0 root 10
khelper 0.0 root 12
kdevtmpfs 0.0 root 13
Explanation
--sort -pcpu , Sort by CPU Usage
-o comm,pcpu,user,pid , show output columns of cpu, user,process id.
| head 11 , show top 11
Rename multiple files with specific name with number sequence
Below example will rename multiple files which starting with x to data01.csv , data02.csv ...etc
ls x[a-z]* | while read file;do let c++;mv $file data$(printf "%02d" $c)".csv";done
Explanation:
ls x[a-z]* - List all the files which start with 'x' letter
while read file;do let c++ - Loop while listing all the files and do the following
mv $file data$(printf "%02d" $c)".csv";done - Move all the files with naming them 'data' and have 0 then number of the loop of $c and place extension .csv
Check each installed packaged information and sort by date
Not all the installed packages' information can be retreived using yum, if packages where installed using rpm you can query and find installation date using below command:
Example:
rpm -qa --qf '%{INSTALLTIME} (%{INSTALLTIME:date}): %{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}.%{ARCH}\n' | sort -n | tail -n5
Output sample:
1496198202(Tue 30 May 2017 10:36:42 PM EDT):mysql-community-common-5.7.18-1.el7
1496198203(Tue 30 May 2017 10:36:43 PM EDT):mysql-community-libs-5.7.18-1.el7
1496198207(Tue 30 May 2017 10:36:47 PM EDT):mysql-community-client-5.7.18-1.el7
1496198234(Tue 30 May 2017 10:37:14 PM EDT):mysql-community-server-5.7.18-1.el7
1496198235(Tue 30 May 2017 10:37:15 PM EDT):mysql-community-libs-compat-5.7.18-1.el7
Explanation:
rpm -qa --qf '%{INSTALLTIME}(%{INSTALLTIME:date}):%{NAME}-%{version}-%{RELEASE}\n' | sort -n | tail -n 5
rpm -qa - List and query all installed packages.
--qf '%{INSTALLTIME}' - This will show file information of Install Time and all the rest of parameters have different info like date, name, version..etc
\n' - To have each package in a new line
sort -n - Sort the list
tail -n5 - List only the latest 5 installed packages
Find Apache uptime or when was restarted
Method #1
apachectl status | grep -i active
Method #2
locate error_log
cat /var/log/httpd/error_log | grep -i resum
List files by last accessed ones
ls -latu
This command will differ than ls -lat that it will show last accessed even if it was not modified.
Which processes using certain file
Example:
fuser /var/log/httpd/error_log
Output example:
/var/log/httpd/error_log: 27431 27432 27433 27434 27435 27436
Investigate certain pid
ps aux | grep -i 27431
Output will show that httpd is running, now we can know that httpd is using that file.
