One-liner: how to change file extensions according to their type

What if you have PNG or WEBP files, saved with .jpg extension? Here’s a one liner to rename them accordingly. You need mediainfo package:

sudo apt-get install mediainfo

Imagine we have file1.jpg in the current directory:

% ls
file1.jpg
% file file1.jpg
file1.jpg: RIFF (little-endian) data, Web/P image, VP8 encoding, 800x800, Scaling: [none]x[none], YUV color, decoders should clamp

No problem just rename it! But what if we have a hundred? 

for i in *
do
oldext=`echo "$i" | sed -e 's/^.*\.\([A-Za-z][A-Za-z]*\)$/\1/'`
echo "Old ext=$oldext"
newext=`mediainfo "$i" | egrep "^Format[[:space:]]+:" | sort -u | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]' | sed -e 's/.* \([a-z][a-z]*\)/\1/' -e 's/jpeg/jpg/'`
echo "New ext=$newext"

oldname=`echo $i | sed -e 's/\.'$oldext'$/.'$oldext'/'`
newname=`echo $i | sed -e 's/\.'$oldext'$/.'$newext'/'`

echo old=$oldname new=$newname
mv -i $oldname $newname

done

The result:

Old ext=jpg
New ext=webp
old=file1.jpg new=file1.webp

% ls
file1.webp

One-liner: How to check positional numbers of elements in the CheckPoint logs

CheckPoint log entries are divided by semi-colons and can have … many … fields. How to quickly check the positional number of a particular field in a particular log entry? Here’s a quick AWK one-liner (in AWK the “0” element is the whole line):

$ echo '315918;1Jan2019;0:03:30;fe80::d123:3aaa:fe80:fb73;ff02::1;ipv6-icmp;;accept;;;;10.1.2.26;log;;eth1.123;inbound;VPN-1 & FireWall-1;;f-firewall001;Network;0;;;;;;;;;Implied rule;;;Neighbor Advertisement;136;0;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;' | \ 
awk -v RS=\; '{print NR,$0}'

A bit longer alternative variant:

awk -F\; '{ for (i=1;i<=NF;i++) {print i,$i}}'

To number the field names (provided the logs are converted to TXT and gzipped):

$ zcat 2019-01-01_025249_2308.log.txt.gz | head -1 |  awk -v RS=\; '{ print NR,$0}'

Quick MyBB MySQL fix

Quick SQL fix to address the following issues for some MyBB users:

  • Hotlinked images and videos are not shown
  • Quoted images and videos are not shown
  • Classic layout is not enforced
  • “Friendly redirects” are not disabled
UPDATE `mybb_users` SET classicpostbit=1 WHERE classicpostbit=0;
UPDATE mybb_users SET showimages=1,showvideos=1 WHERE showimages=0;
UPDATE mybb_users SET showredirect=0 WHERE showredirect=1;

The first line is the most important because of the bug in MyBB UserCP.

One-liner: How to convert CheckPoint firewall logs

To make the log format predictable, create /etc/fw/conf/logexport.ini with the following

For R70 (Secuplat):

[Fields_Info]
included_fields=num,date,time,src,dst,proto,service,action,xlatesrc,xlatedst,peer gateway,<REST_OF_FIELDS>

For R77 (GAIA):

[Fields_Info]
included_fields=date,time,src,dst,proto,service,action,xlatesrc,xlatedst,peer gateway,<REST_OF_FIELDS>

Create a directory for the converted logs:

mkdir /var/log/2019.txt

Run the following command to convert all logs, for example, for January 2019:

 
for i in $FWDIR/log/2019-01-*.log; do echo $i; fwm logexport -n -p -i $i |  gzip -c - > /var/log/2019.txt/$i.txt.gz; done

One-liner: how to get Pulse Secure (Juniper SSL VPN) ACLs per role

Export ACLs as XML from the GUI into acls.xml file, then run the following command:

cat acls.xml | sed -e 's/&amp;/\&/g' | awk '
BEGIN { acls=""; acl=0;}
/<network-connect-acl>/ { acl=1;}
/<resource>/ { if ( acl == 1) {a=gensub(".*<resource>(.*)<\/resource>.*","\\1","g",$0); acls = acls " " a; } } 
/<roles>/ { if (acl == 1) { roles[gensub(".*<roles>(.*)<\/roles>.*","\\1","g",$0)]=acls;} }
/<action>/ { if (acl == 1) { action=gensub(".*<action>(.*)<\/action>.*","\\1","g",$0)};}
/<\/network-connect-acl>/ { acl=0; acls=""; for ( i in roles) {printf("%s;%s;%s\n", i,roles[i],action);} delete roles;}' | sed -e 's/; /;/g' | less

The result will be shown in the following (semi-colon separated form):

Role;ACl1 ACL2 ACL3 …;action

One-liner: how to check temperature differences

The idea of this not-quite-one-liner is to periodically check the DIMM temperatures and show the differences (works in KSH, and does not work in BASH):

n=1

# Check all DIMM temperatures 
for temp in `sensors | fgrep DIMM | sed -e 's/°C.*//' -e 's/^.*+//' -e 's/\./,/'`
do

	(( B$n=$temp )) # temperature in the beginning
	(( D$n=$temp )) # current temperature
	(( n+=1 )) 	 	# next DIMM
done

while true
do

	sleep 10
	n=1
	for temp in `sensors | fgrep DIMM | sed -e 's/°C.*//' -e 's/^.*+//' -e 's/\./,/'`
	do
		(( temp_var=D$n ))
		(( DIFF1=$temp-$temp_var )) #temp diff from the last iteration
		(( temp_var=B$n ))
		(( DIFF2=$temp-$temp_var )) #temp diff from the beginning
		/bin/echo -e "$temp \t $DIFF2 \t $DIFF1"
		(( D$n=$temp ))
		(( n+=1 ))
	done
	echo ----------------------------------------
done

The result:

72,0 	 0 	 0
65,0 	 0 	 0
65,0 	 -0,5 	 -0,5
63,0 	 0 	 0
72,5 	 0 	 0
72,5 	 0 	 0
75,5 	 0 	 0
64,0 	 0 	 0

72,0 	 0 	 0
65,0 	 0 	 0
65,0 	 -0,5 	 0
63,0 	 0 	 0,5
72,5 	 0 	 0

One-liner: how to do a ping sweep in bash

Ping sweep from 10.0.1.1 to 10.0.1.31:

 for i in {1..31}; do ping -c 1 10.0.1.$i | fgrep ttl & done 2>/dev/null | sed -e 's/^.*from //' -e 's/:.*$//' | sort -n -t. -k4

Result:

10.0.1.1
10.0.1.2
10.0.1.3
10.0.1.7
10.0.1.9
10.0.1.10
10.0.1.12
10.0.1.13
10.0.1.14
10.0.1.15
10.0.1.16
10.0.1.17
10.0.1.18
10.0.1.19
10.0.1.20

One-liner: how to search media files for file and track names

Let’s find all media files with file or track names containing the word “brain” recursively beginning from the current directory:

find . -type f -exec mediainfo '{}' \+ | tr -s ' ' | tr -s '      ' | sed -e 's/ : /:/' | awk -F: 'function aprt () {printf("%s | %s | %s\n",a["Complete name"], a["Duration"], a["Track name"]);a["Complete name"]="";a["Duration"]="";a["Track name"]="";} {a[$1]=$2} /^General/ {aprt()} END {aprt()}' | fgrep -i brain

Result (file name | duration | track name):

./Jazz Side of the Moon/8 Brain Damage.flac | 6 min 20 s | 
./Pink Floyd - TDSOTM - (CP35-3017 Japanese Black Triangle)/8 Brain Damage.flac | 3 min 50 s | Brain Damage
./The Dark Side of The Moon/09.flac | 3 min 51 s | Brain Damage
./Vocomotion - Dark Side of the Moon/08 - Vocomotion - Brain Damage.mp3 | 3 min 53 s | Brain Damage

The “one-liner” above could have been simpler and faster, if there were no spaces in the file names.
