**Collection of random scripts that make my life in the Linux console way simpler.**

Do not expect readability, stability, compatibility, portability, applicability, or survivability.

Most of them are just a verbatim dump of what I'm using on my system(s). Simply sharing them to give back to the community. Written in shell, bash, python, and even php.

## List of scripts and what they do

This section is included because it may be impossible to understand what some of they do by simply looking at them.

* `2pdf ` converts office files to pdf

* `afterpid  ` executed the command after the specified process has terminated

* `aslr-off ` launches command with ASLR disabled

* `awkrc` swaps first and second column (and removes the rest)

* `awksum [n [g1 g2 ...]]` outputs the decimal sum of first column (or nth) column grouping them by columns g1 and g2 and ...

* `base64clipboard [file]` copies a file to clipboard for transfer to remote server via base64

* `collage ` joins images side-by-side preserving original resolution

* `collage.v ` joins images vertically preserving original resolution

* `deflate` deflates content

* `htmlentitydecode` decodes HTML entities

* `inflate` inflates deflated content

* `json2csv` converts json input to csv output

* `melodyping [params] ` pings dest and produces a sound on every packet received (pitch is latency depenedent)

* `melodywatch ` watch command and procude audible alert when output changes

* `mountvdi ` mount and unmount vdi images

* `odfgrep  ` identifies ODF files that contain the string

* `onlyascii` filter out non-printable characters

* `paths2fs ` convert list of paths (e.g. find output) to actual filesystem

* `pdf2image  [out.pdf]` 'print-and-scan' file.pdf document, save as out.pdf; pauses in the middle so edits can be done if needed

* `pdfbooklet ` prepares file.pdf to be printed as a book (two-sided); BOOK1-file.pdf is to be printed on one side and BOOK2-file.pdf on the other side of the paper stack

* `pdf.clear-meta ` removes metadata from file.pdf overwriting it

* `pdf.convert_from_iOS` converts iOS Keynote generated pdf file so that loading it doesn't take forever; overwrites original

* `range ` generates all n-digit numbers from 000...000 to 999...999; like `seq` but prints "004" instead of "4"

* `renamelinks  ` takes `rename` syntax but changes the symlink string instead of renaming the file

* `rir2nmap` converts whois inetnum/NetRange/etc. output (e.g. "8.0.0.0 - 8.127.255.255") to format that nmap can take as a parameter (e.g. 8-8.0-127.0-255.0-255)

* `selcol ` prints only selected columns (alias for awk '{print $n1,$n2,$n3}')

* `sftp-once [params] [user@]` makes sftp connection to host without verifying or saving keys

* `shqueue` asynchronously executes long-running shell commands one-by-one; first instance will become the server, the others will be clients (`shqueue [commandprefix]`)

* `skiprows ` skip first n rows

* `sortuniq [-c]` much faster (to my own surprise) replacement for `sort | uniq`; removes duplicate lines without actually sorting them

* `ssh-once  [params] [user@]` makes ssh connection to host without verifying or saving keys

* `ssh-once-legacy [params] [user@]` makes ssh connection to host without verifying or saving keys; supports obsolete algorithms

* `striptags` removes HTML tags

* `tar.nometa [params]` creates a tar archive without any metadata

* `toplines [-n]` show most prevalent lines and their count; prints top n lines

* `trimn` removes trailing newline(s) from input

* `unbuffer ` disables output buffering for commands that can't do that natively

* `urldecode` decodes URL encoded characters (RFC3986)

* `urlencode` URL encodes characters (RFC3986)

* `vprogress [target[!]] ` shows remaining time until command output reaches zero (or target number); use target! for exact match command is run periodically and must return a single integer

* `xargs1 [options] ` executes command with parameters taken from input; alias for `xargs -L1`

* `xident` prints the most useful info about an X window selected with your mouse
