================================================================

Lots of cool scripts!

(This list is out of date.)

=[ Debian Scripts ]=============================================

agi           | apt install (download + install a package)
agr           | apt remove (uninstall a package)

ds            | dpkg search (search list of installed packages)

=[ InstallWatch Package Tools  ]================================

(Note: If you want these scripts to run really fast, make sure
       that 'installwatch' or 'checkinstall' are installed on your
       system.)

inst          | runs "make install" (or "python setup.py install" or "ruby setup.rb install") in the current directory and monitors all the files that get installed, then records all the installed files in a file in /usr/share/instmon. the package is named after the current directory.
instbackup    | compresses all this package's files into a tarball and removes the package
instfind      | search the list of installed packages
instl         | list installed packages
instlist      | list the files in an installed package
instmon       | puts you into a shell that monitors any changes you make to the filesystem. when you type "exit", it saves the changes to the package list.
instremove    | remove an installed package


=[ Useful UNIX Time-Savers ]====================================

psfind        | Usage: psfind [grep pattern] -> search all running processes
f             | Usage: find [search pattern] [paths to search] -> recursively find all files in the specified directories, or the current directory if unspecified
ddu           | directory disk-usage (same as du --max-depth=1 -m)
i             | init.d daemon controller (runs /etc/init.d/[param] [command]) eg: "i apache2" runs /etc/init.d/apache2 restart, "i gdm stop" kills gdm, etc.
arf           | Archive Retrieval Fiend (extract any kind of archive (tarball, zip, rar) from the filesystem or from an URL)
build         | run "./configure ; make" in the current directory, optionally using the "buildconfig" file in the current directory to pass parameters to configure and make. (See the parameters that the script displays when you run it if you want to know what you can set.)
tounix        | convert a text file (or directory of text files) with DOS line endings to Unix (optionally, replace tabs with a specified number of spaces)
cu            | run "cvs (or svn) update" on the current directory
