Our old friend @Alfred has made it to the desktop. It's prob not as cool as ur imagining.
BUT, somebody describe a REALLY specific & complicated thing you might want to do with a Linux shell and let's see if he can figure it out. Include files, directories, greps, awks, whatever.
But don't include those words (directories and filenames - fine) just don't be technical or mention actual commands.
Just describe what you are trying to do, and make it complicated.
Because.... it's alive!!
^^^ I'm serious, somebody DESCRIBE for me the most obscure task you can think of for a Linux box to do, anything you like - I'll punch it in and see what he comes back with - right from the shell.
Anything at all.
Search all network connections, and determine if any two repeat sequentially in a short matter of time. Then identify those connections..
@corlin Okay this is interesting... let's give it a shot... I'm not sure it makes sense tho, do you want to rephrase?
Looking for network connection pairs that always happen in rapid succession.
( sudo tepdump -i any -n-tttt awk '{print $1, $2, $3, $4}' I uniq -c | sort -nr )
Will try in a minute.
sudo tcpdump -i any -n-tttt awk '{print $1, $2, $3, $4}' | uniq -c | sort -nr
tcpdump: unrecognized option `--tttt'
@corlin try removing that flag?
tcpdump: invalid packet count -i
@corlin Yer killin' me smalls.
