Sometimes some simple one-liner function can save you a lot of time, like-
wps ()
{
rpm -q --whatprovides $(which $1 )
} # ---------- end of function wps ----------

mv command with progress
When moving large files/directories, I would like to see the progress.
Idea for this is to use rsync with progress and remove source files. But that option does not remove the empty directories left behind so find command to delete that.
So, here is function for that:
mv-progress ()
{
rsync -ah --progress --remove-source-files "$1" "$2";
find "$1" -empty -delete
}
Highest disk usage of directory in subdirectories
I find myself doing this lot of times so thought will share this with you all. Basically, once I want to clear out the directory, I first want to find out the sub-directory using the maximum disk space so I wrote a function for that and here it is:
disk_usage_dirs ()
{
find . -maxdepth 1 -type d -not -name '.' | while read line; do
du -s "$line";
done | sort -n | tail -${1:-5}
}
