Unix File sorting and recursive listing

I found the below commands very useful for UNIX.



1.If you are in / and you have to list all the files recursively:

ls -lR



2.If you want to list the files sorted by size :



ls -l | grep ^- | sort -nr -k 5 | more

Steve Jobs Passed Away.......

The Real Hero is no more to invent any more mind blowing products ....


Jobs had battled cancer in 2004 and underwent a liver transplant in 2009 after taking a leave of absence for unspecified health problems. He took another leave of absence in January, his third since his health problems began, before resigning as CEO six weeks ago. Jobs became Apple's chairman and handed the CEO job over to his hand-picked successor, Tim Cook.

Steve Jobs, the mastermind behind Apple's iPhone, iPad, iPod, iMac and iTunes

Steve Jobs was born in Green Bay, Wisconsin to Joanne Simpson and a Syrian father. Paul and Clara Jobs of Mountain View, California then adopted him. In 1972, Jobs graduated from Homestead High School in Cupertino, California and enrolled in Reed College in Portland, Oregon. One semester later, he had dropped out, later taking up the study of philosophy and foreign cultures.


Jobs started Apple with a high school friend in a Silicon Valley garage in 1976, was forced out a decade later and returned in 1997 to rescue the company. During his second stint, it grew into the most valuable technology company in the world with a market value of $351 billion. Only Exxon Mobil, which makes it money extracting and refining oil instead of ideas, is worth more.

ANNA HAZARE JAI HO

1. Who is Anna Hazare?

An ex-army man. Fought 1965 Indo-Pak War

2. What's so special about him?

He built a village Ralegaon Siddhi in Ahamad Nagar district, Maharashtra

3. So what?

This village is a self-sustained model village. Energy is produced in the village itself from solar power, biofuel and wind mills.

In 1975, it used to be a poverty clad village. Now it is one of the richest village in India. It has become a model for self-sustained, eco-friendly & harmonic village.

4. Ok,...?

This guy, Anna Hazare was awarded Padma Bhushan and is a known figure for his social activities.

5. Really, what is he fighting for?

He is supporting a cause, the amendment of a law to curb corruption in India.

6. How that can be possible?

He is advocating for a Bil, The Jan Lokpal Bill (The Citizen Ombudsman Bill), that will form an autonomous authority who will make politicians (ministers), beurocrats (IAS/IPS) accountable for their deeds.

8. It's an entirely new thing right..?

In 1972, the bill was proposed by then Law minister Mr. Shanti Bhushan. Since then it has been neglected by the politicians and some are trying to change the bill to suit thier theft (corruption).

7. Oh.. He is going on a hunger strike for that whole thing of passing a Bill ! How can that be possible in such a short span of time?

The first thing he is asking for is: the government should come forward and announce that the bill is going to be passed.

Next, they make a joint committee to DRAFT the JAN LOKPAL BILL. 50% goverment participation and 50% public participation. Because you cant trust the government entirely for making such a bill which does not suit them.

8. Fine, What will happen when this bill is passed?

A LokPal will be appointed at the centre. He will have an autonomous charge, say like the Election Commission of India. In each and every state, Lokayukta will be appointed. The job is to bring all alleged party to trial in case of corruptions within 1 year. Within 2 years, the guilty will be punished. Not like, Bofors scam or Bhopal Gas Tragedy case, that has been going for last 25 years without any result.

9. Is he alone? Whoelse is there in the fight with Anna Hazare?

Baba Ramdev, Ex. IPS Kiran Bedi, Social Activist Swami Agnivesh, RTI activist Arvind Kejriwal and many more.

Prominent personalities like Aamir Khan is supporting his cause.

10. Ok, got it. What can I do?

At least we can spread the message. How?

Putting status message, links, video, changing profile pics.

At least we can support Anna Hazare and the cause for uprooting corruption from India.

At least we can hope that his Hunger Strike does not go in vain.

We should ban chewing gum

Gum base is the main ingredient of any chewing gum.Bubble gum contains more of the gum base and softener.Phenylalanine, a common ingredient in sugarless gum and other sugar-free foods, is an amino acid and component of the artificial sweetener known as aspartame, or NutraSweet. The warning you mention is directed at people with phenylketonuria (PKU), a disease that prevents metabolization of phenylalanine. If too much phenylalanine builds up in the bloodstream of someone with PKU, that person may have brain problems and seizures. Not enough research has been done to determine whether healthy people are affected by phenylalanine.
The chewing gum ban in Singapore was enacted in 1992 and revised in 2004 and 2010[1]. It bans the import and sale of chewing gum in Singapore.

Some of the main things I doesn't like of chewing gum are below.

1.I seen in india so many will use chewing gum and they will throw in the road. And so many people will be suffering when it stick to their shoes.

2.I have many times faced the issue of getting pasted to my pant or shirts from public transport or theater. This is very bad ,isn't it? (that also chewed like anything ..chi chi )

3.I seen people will pasting in toilet or just throwing everywhere with out any care.

AS PER MY OPINION IT SHOULD BAN IN INDIA ,SINCE ITS ANNOYING MOST OF THEM.
but i am sure it never happen ,because so many big brands involved in this.


So what best we can do is .... we can request the users since its affects others more...

1.Please don't throw in public ,once you finish it.
2.Before you throw anywhere ,please cover the same in a paper and put in waste basket..


its a simple request from me!!! please try help ourselves to clean our India ...
