Here are a few little bash scripts that i use to do different things on my ubuntu machine.  I can’t always remember them, so I have to write them down somewhere. Hopefully someone else will find these useful too.  Visit ubuntu-tutorials.com for some other command line basics.

• Activate the screensaver

gnome-screensaver-command --activate

• Call the screensaver and lock the computer

gnome-screensaver-command --lock

• Save the directory listing to a file in the home folder

ls > ~/FileName.txt

• List files recursively

find /path/to/search/ -type f -name "*.nfo" -exec ls -f {} \;

• Delete files recursively

find /path/to/search/ -type f -name "*.nfo" -exec rm -f {} \;
