Linux Swords

I just recently stumbled accross www.findjar.com, a usefull tool
to find jar-files [who would have guessed..]

And I created a yubnub command for it: findjar

Hope somebody else finds this usefull too

I recently learned and relearned more of common cmdlines and oneliners in bash.
Posting them gives me a place to lookup these until I enter them properly into my wiki.

i recently run into an svn error. I could not update/commit whatsoever from/to the repository.
I run a svnadmin verify and discovered that the db-locks run out.

A quick search showed that I should upgrade the underlying berkley-db. I found a guide
to do this:

There are a lot of tools available to convert mp3 files into m4b files, the
format for audiobooks on the iPods/iPhones.

However, I stille like to do it on the cmd-line. Its clean and fast. You just need to
have mpg123 and faac installed:

mpg123 -s input.mp3 | faac -b 80 -P -X -w -o output.m4b -
If you want to convert a whole directory of mp3 files, as it is the common desire, here
is the onliner:
for i in $(ls *mp3);  do mpg123 -s $i | faac -b 80 -P -X -w -o ${i%mp3}m4b -; done

You can find this cmd-lines also in my wiki.

Stumbled about the http://www.devinettor.com/. A genie is guessing what character
you are thinking of. must be interesting programming logic behind it.

Have fun!
