I'm a command-line fiend and have hacked up quite a few useful little tools. More will be made available here as I have time to document them. Please send any bug reports to me.
One day I intend to put these under version control...
| fjar | Find Java .jar files containing a specified class | (download) |
| fpat | List lines of files that contain a specified regexp | (download) |
| mp-coding | An MPlayer front end for coding videos | (download) |
| printpsbook | Smart 2-up PostScript printer | (download) |
| urlminder | A script to alert about changed web pages; requires elinks(1), as well as cron | (download) |
| vi-occ | Invoke vi on files containing matching pattern | (download) |
| bibdisp | Find and format matching BibTeX entries; may require flowlines | (download) |
| flowlines | Flow consecutive lines into single lines | (download) |
