grep through several files
By adding option -H to the grep command, the filename will be output together with the matching line:
grep -i -H TEXT_TO_SEARCH_FOR
-i turns on ignore case.
Simple scp script for copying to SSH enabled accounts
I frequently use scp to copy files to shell accounts. It’s quite annoying to type the full account info each time, so by writing a very small and very simple shell script some typing can be saved:
#!/bin/bash scp -r "$1" login@server.domain.com:$2
The script copies file $1 to the destination $2 on the server. With -r option directories are copied as well. The “” are for taking care of file/directory names with spaces in.
