Bash tips and tricks:

• System administration:

  # Display Linux version
  cat /proc/version
  
  # Display Linux distribution
  cat /etc/issue
  
  # Display IP
  /sbin/ifconfig
  
  # List printers available
  lpstat -a
  
  # Time during which a program is running
  time ./script
  
  # Install MSI file in Linux
  wine msiexec /i file.msi
  
  # Check if file exist
  if [ -f $file ]; then
  
  # Find matching files
  find . -exec grep -Hn hello {} \;
  
  

• Text manipulation:

  # Delete return carriage
  awk '{sub(/\x0d/,"");print}'
  
  # Delete empty lines
  sed '/^$/d'
  
  # Delete blank lines with spaces
  sed '/^ *$/d'
  
  # Delete N first characters
  cut -c N- 
  
  # Delete 1st col with diff length (tabs)
  cut -f 2-$NF
  
  # Skip header with n lines
  sed 1,nd 
  
  # Replace multiple spaces by tabs
  tr -s " " "\t" 
  
  # Use value of variable 
  file=${!num}
  
  # Substring
  substring=${string:10:9}
  
  # Uppercase to lowercase
  awk {'print tolower($_)'}
  
  

• Numerical calculation:

  # 2 digit number loop (bash)
  for i in {01..99}
  
  # Numerical index loop
  num=$[$num + 1]
  
  # Sum all values in a row 
  awk '{for (i=1; i<=NF; i++) sum[NR]+= $i; 
  print sum[NR]}'
  
  # Print sum and average of 1st col:
  awk '{ s += $1 } END  { print s, s/NR }
  
  # Find max and min 1st col
  awk 'NR == 1 {m=$1 ; p=$1}
  $1 >= m {m = $1}
  $1 <= p {p = $1}
  END { print "Max = " m, "   Min = " p }
  
  # Round or truncate
  echo .6 | awk '{printf "%0.f %d\n",$1,$1}'
  
  # Read (H)H:MM in 2nd col
  awk 'sub(/:/,"") {printf "%04d \n",$2}'
  
  # Transform YYYYMMDD to JJJ
  date -d "YYYYMMDD" +%j
  
  # Loop over time
  startdate=YYYYMMDD
  finaldate=yyyymmdd
  tday=$startdate
  while [  $tday -lt $finaldate ]; do
  tday=$(date +%Y%m%d -d "$tday 1 day") 
  done
