# Bash-Oneliner
|
||
I am glad that you are here! I was working on bioinformatics a few years ago and was amazed by those single-word bash commands which are much faster than my dull scripts, time saved through learning command-line shortcuts and scripting. Recent years I am working on cloud computing and I keep recording those useful commands here. Not all of them is oneliner, but i put effort on making them brief and swift. I am mainly using Ubuntu, Amazon Linux, RedHat, Linux Mint, Mac and CentOS, sorry if the commands don't work on your system.
|
||
|
||
This blog will focus on simple bash commands for parsing data and Linux system maintenance that i acquired from work and LPIC exam. I apologize that there are no detailed citation for all the commands, but they are probably from dear Google and Stack Overflow.
|
||
|
||
English and bash are not my first language, please correct me anytime, thank you.
|
||
If you know other cool commands, please teach me!
|
||
|
||
Here's a more stylish version of [Bash-Oneliner](https://onceupon.github.io/Bash-Oneliner/)~

## Terminal Tricks
|
||
|
||
##### Using Ctrl keys
|
||
```
|
||
Ctrl + n : same as Down arrow.
|
||
Ctrl + p : same as Up arrow.
|
||
Ctrl + r : begins a backward search through command history.(keep pressing Ctrl + r to move backward)
|
||
Ctrl + s : to stop output to terminal.
|
||
Ctrl + q : to resume output to terminal after Ctrl + s.
|
||
Ctrl + a : move to the beginning of line.
|
||
Ctrl + e : move to the end of line.
|
||
Ctrl + d : if you've type something, Ctrl + d deletes the character under the cursor, else, it escapes the current shell.
|
||
Ctrl + k : delete all text from the cursor to the end of line.
|
||
Ctrl + x + backspace : delete all text from the beginning of line to the cursor.
|
||
Ctrl + t : transpose the character before the cursor with the one under the cursor, press Esc + t to transposes the two words before the cursor.
|
||
Ctrl + w : cut the word before the cursor; then Ctrl + y paste it
|
||
Ctrl + u : cut the line before the cursor; then Ctrl + y paste it
|
||
Ctrl + _ : undo typing.
|
||
Ctrl + l : equivalent to clear.
|
||
Ctrl + x + Ctrl + e : launch editor defined by $EDITOR to input your command. Useful for multi-line commands.
|
||
```
|
||
##### Change case
|
||
```bash
|
||
Esc + u
|
||
# converts text from cursor to the end of the word to uppercase.
|
||
Esc + l
|
||
# converts text from cursor to the end of the word to lowercase.
|
||
Esc + c
|
||
# converts letter under the cursor to uppercase, rest of the word to lowercase.
|
||
```
|
||
##### Run history number (e.g. 53)
|
||
```bash
|
||
!53
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
##### Run last command
|
||
```bash
|
||
!!
|
||
# run the previous command using sudo
|
||
sudo !!
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
##### Run last command and change some parameter using caret substitution (e.g. last command: echo 'aaa' -> rerun as: echo 'bbb')
|
||
```bash
|
||
#last command: echo 'aaa'
|
||
^aaa^bbb
|
||
|
||
#echo 'bbb'
|
||
#bbb
|
||
|
||
#Notice that only the first aaa will be replaced, if you want to replace all 'aaa', use ':&' to repeat it:
|
||
^aaa^bbb^:&
|
||
#or
|
||
!!:gs/aaa/bbb/
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
##### Run past command that began with (e.g. cat filename)
|
||
```bash
|
||
!cat
|
||
# or
|
||
!c
|
||
# run cat filename again
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
##### Bash globbing
|
||
```bash
|
||
# '*' serves as a "wild card" for filename expansion.
|
||
/etc/pa*wd #/etc/passwd
|
||
|
||
# '?' serves as a single-character "wild card" for filename expansion.
|
||
/b?n/?at #/bin/cat
|
||
|
||
# '[]' serves to match the character from a range.
|
||
ls -l [a-z]* #list all files with alphabet in its filename.
|
||
|
||
# '{}' can be used to match filenames with more than one patterns
|
||
ls *.{sh,py} #list all .sh and .py files
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
##### Some handy environment variables
|
||
```
|
||
$0 :name of shell or shell script.
|
||
$1, $2, $3, ... :positional parameters.
|
||
$# :number of positional parameters.
|
||
$? :most recent foreground pipeline exit status.
|
||
$- :current options set for the shell.
|
||
$$ :pid of the current shell (not subshell).
|
||
$! :is the PID of the most recent background command.
|
||
|
||
$DESKTOP_SESSION current display manager
|
||
$EDITOR preferred text editor.
|
||
$LANG current language.
|
||
$PATH list of directories to search for executable files (i.e. ready-to-run programs)
|
||
$PWD current directory
|
||
$SHELL current shell
|
||
$USER current username
|
||
$HOSTNAME current hostname
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Variable
|
||
[[back to top](#handy-bash-one-liners)]
|
||
##### Variable substitution within quotes
|
||
```bash
|
||
# foo=bar
|
||
echo $foo
|
||
# bar
|
||
echo "$foo"
|
||
# bar
|
||
# single quotes cause variables to not be expanded
|
||
echo '$foo'
|
||
# $foo
|
||
# single quotes within double quotes will not cancel expansion and will be part of the output
|
||
echo "'$foo'"
|
||
# 'bar'
|
||
# doubled single quotes act as double quotes making variables expand
|
||
echo ''$foo''
|
||
# bar
|
||
```
|
||
##### Get the length of variable
|
||
```bash
|
||
var="some string"
|
||
echo ${#var}
|
||
# 11
|
||
```
|
||
##### Get the first character of the variable
|
||
```bash
|
||
var=string
|
||
echo "${var:0:1}"
|
||
#s
|
||
|
||
# or
|
||
echo ${var%%"${var#?}"}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
##### Remove the first or last string from variable
|
||
```bash
|
||
var="some string"
|
||
echo ${var:2}
|
||
#me string
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
##### Replacement (e.g. remove the first leading 0 )
|
||
```bash
|
||
var="0050"
|
||
echo ${var[@]#0}
|
||
#050
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
##### Replacement (e.g. replace 'a' with ',')
|
||
```bash
|
||
{var/a/,}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
##### Replace all (e.g. replace all 'a' with ',')
|
||
```bash
|
||
{var//a/,}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
##### Grep lines with strings from a file (e.g. lines with 'stringA or 'stringB' or 'stringC')
|
||
```bash
|
||
#with grep
|
||
test="stringA stringB stringC"
|
||
grep ${test// /\\\|} file.txt
|
||
# turning the space into 'or' (\|) in grep
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
##### To change the case of the string stored in the variable to lowercase (Parameter Expansion)
|
||
```bash
|
||
var=HelloWorld
|
||
echo ${var,,}
|
||
helloworld
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
##### Expand and then execute variable/argument
|
||
```bash
|
||
cmd="bar=foo"
|
||
eval "$cmd"
|
||
echo "$bar" # foo
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Math
|
||
[[back to top](#handy-bash-one-liners)]
|
||
##### Arithmetic Expansion in Bash (Operators: +, -, *, /, %, etc)
|
||
```bash
|
||
echo $(( 10 + 5 )) #15
|
||
x=1
|
||
echo $(( x++ )) #1 , notice that it is still 1, since it's post-increment
|
||
echo $(( x++ )) #2
|
||
echo $(( ++x )) #4 , notice that it is not 3 since it's pre-increment
|
||
echo $(( x-- )) #4
|
||
echo $(( x-- )) #3
|
||
echo $(( --x )) #1
|
||
x=2
|
||
y=3
|
||
echo $(( x ** y )) #8
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
##### Print out the prime factors of a number (e.g. 50)
|
||
```bash
|
||
factor 50
|
||
# 50: 2 5 5
|
||
```
|
||
##### Sum up input list (e.g. seq 10)
|
||
```bash
|
||
seq 10|paste -sd+|bc
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
##### Sum up a file (each line in file contains only one number)
|
||
```bash
|
||
awk '{s+=$1} END {print s}' filename
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
##### Column subtraction
|
||
```bash
|
||
cat file| awk -F '\t' 'BEGIN {SUM=0}{SUM+=$3-$2}END{print SUM}'
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
##### Simple math with expr
|
||
```bash
|
||
expr 10+20 #30
|
||
expr 10\*20 #600
|
||
expr 30 \> 20 #1 (true)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
##### More math with bc
|
||
```bash
|
||
# Number of decimal digit/ significant figure
|
||
echo "scale=2;2/3" | bc
|
||
#.66
|
||
|
||
# Exponent operator
|
||
echo "10^2" | bc
|
||
#100
|
||
|
||
# Using variables
|
||
echo "var=5;--var"| bc
|
||
#4
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Grep

grep -R bbo /path/to/directory
|
||
# or
|
||
grep -r bbo /path/to/directory
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
##### Search all files in directory, do not ouput the filenames (e.g. 'bbo')
|
||
```bash
|
||
grep -rh bbo /path/to/directory
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
##### Search all files in directory, output ONLY the filenames with matches(e.g. 'bbo')

||
$echo "$long_str"|grep -q "$short_str"
|
||
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then echo 'found'; fi
|
||

## Sed
|
||
[[back to top](#handy-bash-one-liners)]

sed 1d filename
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
##### Remove the first 100 lines (remove line 1-100)
|
||
```bash
|
||
sed 1,100d filename
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
##### Remove lines with string (e.g. 'bbo')
|
||
```bash
|
||
sed "/bbo/d" filename
|
||
# case insensitive:
|
||
sed "/bbo/Id" filename
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
##### Remove lines whose nth character not equal to a value (e.g. 5th character not equal to 2)
|
||
```bash
|
||
sed -E '/^.{5}[^2]/d'
|
||
#aaaa2aaa (you can stay)
|
||
#aaaa1aaa (delete!)

||
```
|
||
|
||
##### Edit infile (edit and save to file), (e.g. deleting the lines with 'bbo' and save to file)
|
||
```bash
|
||
sed -i "/bbo/d" filename
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
##### When using variable (e.g. $i), use double quotes " "
|
||
```bash
|
||
# e.g. add >$i to the first line (to make a bioinformatics FASTA file)
|
||
sed "1i >$i"
|
||
# notice the double quotes! in other examples, you can use a single quote, but here, no way!
|
||
# '1i' means insert to first line
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
##### Using environment variable and end-of-line pattern at the same time.
|
||
```bash
|
||
# Use backslash for end-of-line $ pattern, and double quotes for expressing the variable
|
||
sed -e "\$s/\$/\n+--$3-----+/"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
##### Delete/remove empty lines
|
||
```bash

sed '$d'
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
##### Delete/remove last character from end of file
|
||
```bash
|
||
sed -i '$ s/.$//' filename
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
##### Add string to beginning of file (e.g. "\[")
|
||
```bash
|
||
sed -i '1s/^/[/' file
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
##### Add string at certain line number (e.g. add 'something' to line 1 and line 3)
|
||
```bash
|
||
sed -e '1isomething' -e '3isomething'
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
##### Add string to end of file (e.g. "]")
|
||
```bash
|
||
sed '$s/$/]/' filename
|
||
```
|
||
##### Add newline to the end
|
||
```bash
|
||
sed '$a\'
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
##### Add string to beginning of every line (e.g. 'bbo')
|
||
```bash
|
||
sed -e 's/^/bbo/' file
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
##### Add string to end of each line (e.g. "}")
|
||
```bash
|
||
sed -e 's/$/\}\]/' filename
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
##### Add \n every nth character (e.g. every 4th character)
|
||
```bash
|
||
sed 's/.\{4\}/&\n/g'
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
##### Concatenate/combine/join files with a separator and next line (e.g separate by ",")
|
||
```bash
|
||
sed -s '$a,' *.json > all.json
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
##### Substitution (e.g. replace A by B)
|
||
```bash
|
||
sed 's/A/B/g' filename
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
##### Substitution with wildcard (e.g. replace a line start with aaa= by aaa=/my/new/path)
|
||
```bash
|
||
sed "s/aaa=.*/aaa=\/my\/new\/path/g"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
##### Select lines start with string (e.g. 'bbo')
|
||
```bash
|
||
sed -n '/^@S/p'
|

||
|
||
##### Resolve a domain to IP address(es)
|
||
```bash
|
||
dig +short www.example.com
|
||
|
||
# or
|
||
host www.example.com
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
##### Get DNS TXT record a of domain
|
||
```bash
|
||
dig -t txt www.example.com
|
||
|
||
# or
|
||
host -t txt www.example.com
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
##### Send a ping with a limited TTL to 10 (TTL: Time-To-Live, which is the maximum number of hops that a packet can travel across the Internet before it gets discarded.)
|
||
```bash
|
||
ping 8.8.8.8 -t 10
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
##### Print the route packets trace to network host
|
||
```bash
|
||
traceroute google.com
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
##### Check connection to host (e.g. check connection to port 80 and 22 of google.com)
|
||
```bash
|
||
nc -vw5 google.com 80
|
||
# Connection to google.com 80 port [tcp/http] succeeded!
|
||
|
||
nc -vw5 google.com 22
|
||
# nc: connect to google.com port 22 (tcp) timed out: Operation now in progress
|
||
# nc: connect to google.com port 22 (tcp) failed: Network is unreachable
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
##### Nc as a chat tool!
|
||
```bash
|
||
# From server A:
|
||
$ sudo nc -l 80
|
||
# then you can connect to the 80 port from another server (e.g. server B):
|
||
# e.g. telnet <server A IP address> 80
|
||
# then type something in server B
|
||
# and you will see the result in server A!
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
##### Check which ports are listening for TCP connections from the network
|
||
```bash
|
||
#notice that some companies might not like you using nmap

nmap -sT -O localhost
|
||
|
||
# check port 0-65535
|
||
nmap -p0-65535 localhost
|
||
```
|
||
##### Check if a host is up and scan for open ports, also skip host discovery.
|
||
```bash
|
||
#skips checking if the host is alive which may sometimes cause a false positive and stop the scan.
|
||
$ nmap google.com -Pn
|
||
|
||
# Example output:
|
||
# Starting Nmap 7.01 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2020-07-18 22:59 CST
|
||
# Nmap scan report for google.com (172.217.24.14)
|
||
# Host is up (0.013s latency).
|
||
# Other addresses for google.com (not scanned): 2404:6800:4008:802::200e
|
||
# rDNS record for 172.217.24.14: tsa01s07-in-f14.1e100.net
|
||
# Not shown: 998 filtered ports
|
||
# PORT STATE SERVICE
|
||
# 80/tcp open http
|
||
# 443/tcp open https
|
||
#
|
||
# Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 3.99 seconds
|
||
```
|
||
##### Scan for open ports and OS and version detection (e.g. scan the domain "scanme.nmap.org")
|
||
```bash
