MTR – a network diagnostic tool

Just came across a tool called “mtr” , it expands to “My trace Route”

DESCRIPTION

mtr combines the functionality of the traceroute and ping programs in single network diagnostic tool.
 

As  mtr starts, it investigates the network connection between the host mtr runs on and HOSTNAME.  by sending packets with purposly  low  TTLs.
     

It  continues to send packets with low TTL, noting the response time of the intervening routers.  This allows mtr to print  the  response  percentage and response times of the internet route to HOSTNAME.  A sudden increase in packetloss or response time is often an indication of a bad(or simply overloaded) link.

To install : mtr {click}

After installing just , type in “mtr” in terminal to run and see the o/p for your local host.

Rename extensions | filename in bulk

A mysterious virus , had changed the extensions of *.avi to *.jpeg , in on of friends portable harddisk , know the power of Linux , she asked can you write a small code to change the extensions , i gave it a try this way : 

for i in *.jpg; do j=`echo $i | cut -d . -f 1`; j=$j".avi"; mv $i $j; done

Further tried to make it more generic

#!/bin/bash

old=$(zenity --entry --text="Current extension" --title="Rename")

new=$(zenity --entry --text="New extension or name" --title="Rename")

for i in *.$old; do j=`echo $i | cut -d . -f 1`; j=$j".$new"; mv $i $j; done

zenity --info --text="Done"

FAST a command line database in Bash

   Inspired by Scott’s FAST database implemented as a batch file and hasan.diwan@gmail.com bash script , i tired a bit more on it , it’s as below :

#!/bin/bash


fad()
{
echo “$1″ >> ~/.db
echo “Updated at $@”
}


f()
{
grep “$1″ ~/.db
}


fuse()
{
echo “f keyword to search”
echo “f -add or f -a to add “
}


case “$1″ in


-a |-add |–add) fad “$2″
;;

“”) f “$*”
;;

*) fuse
;;


esac

For the input either use bash’s tab completion, which will automatically put in backslashes as appropriate, or the user should quote it.

Sample :

To add
$ f -a “hemanth.hm nerd +919449167054″
$


To search
$ f “nerd”
$ hemanth.hm nerd +919449167054

My sensiour thanks to  \amethyst and greycat , for teaching me best partices


To run the script as a command , place the script in /bin.



More graphical approach

                                                                                              

#! /bin/bash

fad()                        

{

echo “$1″ >> ~/.db

notify-send “Database Updated $@”

}

f()

{

res=$(grep “$1″ ~/.db)

echo “$res”

notify-send “$res”

echo “$res” | zenity –text-info

}

fuse()

{

echo “f keyword to search”

echo “f -add or f -a to add “

}

case “$1″ in

-a |-add |–add) fad “$2″

;;

“”) f “$*”

Twiiter for terminal

Just  wonder  why not you tweet while coding from terminal , so tired this :

#! /bin/sh

user=”twitter-username”

password=”twitter-password”

echo “You want to tweet about ?”

read message 

curl -u  $user:$password -d “status=$message” “https://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml”

Rather disadvantage if your friend could read your script right

So tired this :

__________________________________________________________________________________

#! /bin/bash
tweet()
{
usr=$(zenity –entry –text=”Username” –title=”Twitt”)
pwd=$(zenity –entry –text=”Password” –title=”Twitt” –hide-text)
msg=$(zenity –entry –text=”Tweet” –title=”Twitt”)

if [ "$usr" = "" ]; then
zenity –info –text=”UserName invalid”
tweet
elif [ "$pwd" = "" ]; then
zenity –info –text=”Invalid Password”
tweet
elif [ "$msg" = "" ]; then
msg=”www.h3manth.com”
fi
}

tweet
URL=”https://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml”
curl -u ${usr}:${pwd} -d status=”${msg}” ${URL} -k -s > /dev/null

if [[ $? = 0 ]];
then
zenity –error –text=”You couldn’t twitt , check if everything is fine ” –title=”Twitt”
exit 0
else
zenity –info –text=”$msg is twitted” –title=”Twitt”
exit 1
fi

Bash Script to resize images

One of my firends wanted this , so i explained him stepwise how to do it , then thought why not a script , here it is :

===================================================

#! /bin/bash

ZENITY=/usr/bin/zenity

if hash zenity 2>/dev/null; then

if hash mogrify 2>/dev/null; then

loc=$(${ZENITY} –file-selection –title=”Select a File” –directory)

cd $loc

pwd

mkdir resized

cp $loc/* $loc/rz/

cd rz

size=$(zenity –title “Give the required resize value” –entry –text “Resize value”)

type=$(zenity –title “Give the file type you want to resize ” –entry –text “File type”)

mogrify -resize $size! *.$type | ( zenity –width=400 –height=100 –progress –title=”Please wait ” –text=”…….” –percentage=0)

zenity –info –text=”Operation completed”

else

echo “Installing the dependcies”

sudo apt-get install imagemagick

sudo apt-get install zenity

exit 0;

fi
