find duplicate entry in a list in bash with sed

2010-06-25 1 min read Bash Fedora Learning

Here I will take an example of rss2email list, but I guess I will be able to pass on the concept.

Here is example of the output of the r2e list command:

1: http://blog.amit-agarwal.co.in/feed (default: amitag@localhost)
2: http://feeds2.feedburner.com/AllAboutLinux (default: amitag@localhost)
3: http://feeds2.feedburner.com/Command-line-fu (default: amitag@localhost)
4: http://blogs.members.freewebs.com/Members/Blogs/viewBlogRSS.jsp?userid=29731143 (default: amitag@localhost)

Today I was just wondering how good it would be to have a script to change the <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/vim" title="Vim (text editor)" rel="homepage" href="http://www.vim.org/">vim colorscheme from the <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/cmd_exe" title="Command Prompt" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command_Prompt">command prompt. The plan for the script was simply to print the list of available schemes and then let the user select the actions from there on. So, here is the result:

I will make another collage as an example with screenshots to take you through the process.

If you want similar to one above then we would need some similar photos to go in the background otherwise you can use some brush strokes as the background image. Now fire up gimp and select new image and enter the properties:

Check file usage using fuser

2010-06-24 1 min read Fedora Linux

There is a package called psmisc that provides a useful application fuser. The package provides the below (on fedora):

/sbin/fuser
/usr/bin/killall
/usr/bin/peekfd
/usr/bin/pstree
/usr/bin/pstree.x11

There are couple of options you can provide on the terminal to fuser. The main purpose of the binary is to check the process id of the process using the file. This can be useful if some file operation on a file is blocking something for you 🙂
