by Rename files / folders with spaces:
IFS=$'\n';for f in `find .`; do file=$(echo $f | tr [:blank:] '_'); [ -e $f ] && [ ! -e $file ] && mv "$f" $file;done;unset IFS
Rsync:
rsync -r -a -v rsync://ns2/storage/www-srv /storage/
^^^ from ns2 to new host – (run on new host)

Find all zip files (*.zip) and copy to ‘zips’ folder:
find . -iname "*.zip" -exec cp {} /home/zips \;
Run CRON job every 5 mins:
*/5 * * * * /usr/local/bin/command.sh > /dev/null 2>&1
The ”/dev/null 2>&1” option mutes any output.
Awk – print last word of line.
awk '{ print $NF }'
Delete lines containing text using awk
sed '/pattern to match/d' ./infile
To create a new file (rather than print to the console) you need to redirect the output either to a new file with something like sed ‘/pattern to match/d’ ./infile > ./newfile or if you want to do an in-place edit then you can add the -i flag to sed as in sed -i ‘/pattern to match/d’ ./infile
Do the same with grep
grep -v "pattern" file > temp && mv temp file
With awk
awk '!/pattern/' file > temp && mv temp file
And inverse sed (faster)
sed -n '/pattern/!p' file sed -n 3p filename
Tune reserved blocks
