= Get Syntax Color In Less =
The NST includes the source-highlight package which can "smartly" apply color to a wide variety of file formats. You can set some '''less''' environment variables to make use of the source-hightlight package to color code files in your terminal with the following settings:
export LESSOPEN="| source-highlight --out-format=esc -o STDOUT -i %s 2>/dev/null"; export LESS=" -R "
Then try something like:
less /usr/share/nstwui/apps/arp-scan/arp-scan.js
less /usr/bin/lsusb.py
Unfortunately, source-highlight only works by filename extensions (it won't try to guess the input format based on the contents of the file).

= Use SSH To Login On Remote System Using A Different New Shell =
The command below demonstrates how to login on to a remote system using a different shell (i.e., ''/bin/ash''):
imac2012:~ rwhalb$ ssh -t root@10.222.222.8 /bin/ash
root@10.222.222.8's password:
Warning: untrusted X11 forwarding setup failed: xauth key data not generated
BusyBox v1.30.1 () built-in shell (ash)
~ # exit
Connection to 10.222.222.8 closed.

= Used sed to Remove All Carriage Lines (\r, ^M) from a File =
sed -i -e 's/\r//g' <file>
= Use sed to Remove the Next Line from a Previous Line Match =
Lets say you need to remove a specific line from a file that is replicated throughout the file:
Example: The second '''#endif''' line from a file: "'''types.h'''" will be removed after matching line: '''typedef uint64_t __u64;'''
.
.
.
#ifndef LIBZWAVE_EXCLUDE_TYPES
  typedef ZWAVE_NULL 0;
#endif
#ifndef LIBWIFIUSERSPACE_EXCLUDE_TYPES
  typedef uint8_t __u8;
  typedef uint16_t __u16;
  typedef uint32_t __u32;
  typedef uint64_t __u64;
#endif
.
.
.
Use this sed one liner to remove the second '''#endif''' after line: '''typedef uint64_t __u64;''':
sed -i -e '/typedef uint64_t __u64;/{n;d;}' "./types.h";
Results:
.
.
.
#ifndef LIBZWAVE_EXCLUDE_TYPES
  typedef ZWAVE_NULL 0;
#endif
#ifndef LIBWIFIUSERSPACE_EXCLUDE_TYPES
  typedef uint8_t __u8;
  typedef uint16_t __u16;
  typedef uint32_t __u32;
  typedef uint64_t __u64;
.

= Use sed to Remove Multiple Next Lines from a Previous Line Match =
Lets say you need to remove multiple lines from a file after a previous line match:
Example: Remove lines containing: '''4''', '''6''' and '''8''' from a file: "'''letters.txt'''" after matching line: '''abc1'''
.
.
.
abc1
4
6
8
9
.
.
.
Use this sed one liner:
sed -i -e '/abc1/{n;N;N;d;}' "./letters.txt";
Results:
.
.
.
abc1
9

= Remove Incorrect Host Key from ~/.ssh/known_hosts (Delete 1 Line from File) =
= Remove Incorrect Host Key from ~/.ssh/known_hosts (Delete 1 Line from File) =
Line 22: Line 158:


   sed -i -e 12d ~/.ssh/known_hosts
   sed -i -e 12d ~/.ssh/known_hosts
Alternatively, you can add a ''rmsshhost'' function to your ''~/.bash_profile'':
  rmsshhost() {
    sed -i -e ${1:-999999999}d ${2:-~/.ssh/known_hosts};
  }


This is particularly useful in situations where ''ssh'' host keys are expected to change. For example, depending on which micro SD card is loaded on a Beagle Bone Black, it's host key might change. The following demonstrates the output from ''ssh'' when it detects this change in the host key (note how it reports the problem line as 54). The ''sed'' command is then used to quickly remove the old key.

  taco:~ pkb$
Or, if using the ''rmsshhost'' function, you can remove line 54 using the following command:
rmsshhost 54

= Modifying An ISO Disk Image for Booting =
The example below mounts an iso disk image and copies both the "'''EFI'''" and "'''isolinux'''" directories to a Read / Write directory: "'''/DATA/nstboot/'''" for the purpose of modifying isolinux and EFI booting:
 
[root@shopper2 iso]# mount -o loop ./nst-30-11210.x86_64.iso /mnt/iso/;
[root@shopper2 iso]# cd /DATA/nstboot/;
[root@shopper2 iso]# cp -aR /mnt/iso/EFI .
[root@shopper2 iso]# cp -aR /mnt/iso/isolinux .
[root@shopper2 iso]# ls -al /DATA/nstboot/
total 16
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Jan  3 09:14 .
drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4096 Jan  3 09:08 ..
dr-xr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jul 16 09:10 EFI

[root@shopper2 iso]#
[root@shopper2 iso]# umount /mnt/iso;
[root@shopper2 iso]#
 
After making modifications, the following ''mkisofs'' command can be used to rebuild the ISO boot image for testing.
 
[root@shopper2 iso]# mkisofs -o /DATA/iso/nstboot.iso -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -J -R -l -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -eltorito-alt-boot -e isolinux/efiboot.img -no-emul-boot -graft-points -V "NST30-BOOT" /DATA/nstboot/;

= Locate Command =
The '''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locate_(Unix)#:~:text=locate%20is%20a%20Unix%20utility,and%20compressed%20using%20incremental%20encoding. locate]''' command is a linux utility which serves to find files on filesystems. It searches through a prebuilt database: "'''/var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db'''" generated by the ''updatedb'' command or by a systemd service: "'''/usr/lib/systemd/system/mlocate-updatedb.service'''" and timer unit: "'''/usr/lib/systemd/system/mlocate-updatedb.timer'''" which is compressed using incremental encoding.
 
The example below uses the ''locate'' command to search for '''htop''' files using the regular expression: "'''/htop$'''"
 
[root@shopper2 ~]# locate --regexp '/htop$'
/etc/pcp/pmlogconf/tools/htop
/root/.config/htop
/usr/bin/htop
/usr/share/bash-completion/completions/htop
/usr/share/doc/htop
/usr/share/licenses/htop
/var/lib/pcp/config/pmlogconf/tools/htop
 
The output below demonstrates how to ''manually'' update the default searched database: "'''/var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db'''" using the utility: "'''/usr/libexec/mlocate-run-updatedb'''"
 
[root@shopper2 ~]# ls -al /var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db;
-rw-r----- 1 root slocate 13715680 Aug 16 20:17 /var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db
 
[root@shopper2 ~]# /usr/libexec/mlocate-run-updatedb;
 
[root@shopper2 ~]# ls -al /var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db;

= Ncat One Liners =
== Overview ==
'''[https://nmap.org/ncat/ Ncat]''' is a similar tool to '''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netcat netcat]''' provided by '''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nmap Nmap]''' suite. Ncat features includes: ability to chain Ncats together, redirect both TCP and UDP ports to other sites, SSL support, and proxy connections via SOCKS4 or HTTP (CONNECT method) proxies (with optional proxy authentication as well).
 
Ncat always operates in one of two basic modes: ''connect mode'' and ''listen mode''. In connect mode, Ncat initiates a connection (or sends UDP data) to a service that is listening somewhere. For those familiar with socket programming, connect mode is like using the connect function. In listen mode, Ncat waits for an incoming connection (or data receipt), like using the bind and listen functions. You can think of connect mode as “client” mode and listen mode as “server” mode.
 
To use Ncat in connect mode, run
 
'''ncat <host> [<port>]'''
 
''<host>'' may be a hostname or IP address, and ''<port>'' is a port number. Listen mode is the same, with the addition of the --listen option (or its -l alias):
 
'''ncat --listen [<host>] [<port>]'''
'''ncat -l [<host>] [<port>]'''
 
In listen mode, ''<host>'' controls the address on which Ncat listens; if you omit it, Ncat will bind to all local interfaces (INADDR_ANY). If the port number is omitted, Ncat uses its default port 31337. Typically only privileged (root) users may bind to a port number lower than 1024. A listening TCP server normally accepts only one connection and will exit after the client disconnects. Combined with the ''--keep-open'' option, Ncat accepts multiple concurrent connections up to the connection limit. With ''--keep-open'' (or -k for short), the server receives everything sent by any of its clients, and anything the server sends is sent to all of them. A UDP server will communicate with only one client (the first one to send it data), because in UDP there is no list of “connected” clients.
 
See the '''[https://nmap.org/ncat/guide/ncat-usage.html Ncat Basic Users' Guide]''' for a detailed infomation.
 
 
By default, Ncat uses TCP. The option --udp or -u enables UDP instead, and --sctp enables SCTP. Ncat listens on both IPv4 and IPv6, and connects to either address family as well. The -6 option forces IPv6-only, and -4 forces IPv4-only. For a quick summary of options at any time, run ''ncat --help'' or '''[http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/ncat.1.html man ncat]'''.
 
== Ncat As a Web Browser ==

Overview

This page provides a quick reference to common One Liner administrative command line operations.

One Liner Resources

Get Syntax Color In Less

The NST includes the source-highlight package which can "smartly" apply color to a wide variety of file formats. You can set some less environment variables to make use of the source-hightlight package to color code files in your terminal with the following settings:

export LESSOPEN="| source-highlight --out-format=esc -o STDOUT -i %s 2>/dev/null"; export LESS=" -R "

Then try something like:

less /usr/share/nstwui/apps/arp-scan/arp-scan.js
less /usr/bin/lsusb.py

Unfortunately, source-highlight only works by filename extensions (it won't try to guess the input format based on the contents of the file).

Find The Largest Files Within A File System

This example finds the 10 largest files, descending sorted, using the "/var" top level directory:

[root@vortex wui]# find /var -printf '%s %p\n' | sort -nr | head -10;

Use SSH To Login On Remote System Using A Different New Shell

The command below demonstrates how to login on to a remote system using a different shell (i.e., /bin/ash):

imac2012:~ rwhalb$ ssh -t root@10.222.222.8 /bin/ash
root@10.222.222.8's password: 
Warning: untrusted X11 forwarding setup failed: xauth key data not generated

BusyBox v1.30.1 () built-in shell (ash)

~ # exit
Connection to 10.222.222.8 closed.
imac2012:~ rwhalb$

Used sed to Remove All Carriage Lines (\r, ^M) from a File

sed -i -e 's/\r//g' <file>

Use sed to Remove the Next Line from a Previous Line Match

Lets say you need to remove a specific line from a file that is replicated throughout the file:

Example: The second #endif line from a file: "types.h" will be removed after matching line: typedef uint64_t __u64;

.
.
.
#ifndef LIBZWAVE_EXCLUDE_TYPES
  typedef ZWAVE_NULL 0;
#endif

#ifndef LIBWIFIUSERSPACE_EXCLUDE_TYPES
  typedef uint8_t __u8;
  typedef uint16_t __u16;
  typedef uint32_t __u32;
  typedef uint64_t __u64;
#endif
.
.
.

Use this sed one liner to remove the second #endif after line: typedef uint64_t __u64;:

sed -i -e '/typedef uint64_t __u64;/{n;d;}' "./types.h";

Results:

.
.
.
#ifndef LIBZWAVE_EXCLUDE_TYPES
  typedef ZWAVE_NULL 0;
#endif

#ifndef LIBWIFIUSERSPACE_EXCLUDE_TYPES
  typedef uint8_t __u8;
  typedef uint16_t __u16;
  typedef uint32_t __u32;
  typedef uint64_t __u64;
.
.
.

Use sed to Remove Multiple Next Lines from a Previous Line Match

Lets say you need to remove multiple lines from a file after a previous line match:

Example: Remove lines containing: 4, 6 and 8 from a file: "letters.txt" after matching line: abc1

.
.
.
abc1
4
6
8
9
.
.
.

Use this sed one liner:

sed -i -e '/abc1/{n;N;N;d;}' "./letters.txt";

Results:

.
.
.
abc1
9
.
.
.

Remove Incorrect Host Key from ~/.ssh/known_hosts (Delete 1 Line from File)

The sed command can be very useful when you want to remove a specific line from a file. For example, the following command can be used to remove line 12 out of the file: ~/.ssh/known_hosts.

 sed -i -e 12d ~/.ssh/known_hosts

Alternatively, you can add a rmsshhost function to your ~/.bash_profile:

 rmsshhost() {
   sed -i -e ${1:-999999999}d ${2:-~/.ssh/known_hosts};
 }

This is particularly useful in situations where ssh host keys are expected to change. For example, depending on which micro SD card is loaded on a Beagle Bone Black, it's host key might change. The following demonstrates the output from ssh when it detects this change in the host key (note how it reports the problem line as 54). The sed command is then used to quickly remove the old key.

taco:~ pkb$ ssh salsa-e

Or, if using the rmsshhost function, you can remove line 54 using the following command:

rmsshhost 54

Find File Differences in Two Directories

This one is handy when you have two directories (DIRA and DIRB) with a similar set of files and you want to determine if any of the files in DIRB are different than the files in DIRA. As an example, if you are looking for differences in your CSS files under the css directory (DIRA) with the css files in the 1.1.7 release found at ../1.1.7/css (DIRB).

[root@rice 1.1.4]# find css -type f | wc -l 
4 
[root@rice 1.1.4]# find css -type f | while read src; do cmp ${src} ../1.1.7/${src}; done
css/site.css ../1.1.7/css/site.css differ: byte 31, line 3
[root@rice 1.1.4]#

Modifying An ISO Disk Image for Booting

The example below mounts an iso disk image and copies both the "EFI" and "isolinux" directories to a Read / Write directory: "/DATA/nstboot/" for the purpose of modifying isolinux and EFI booting:

[root@shopper2 iso]# mount -o loop ./nst-30-11210.x86_64.iso /mnt/iso/;
[root@shopper2 iso]# cd /DATA/nstboot/;
[root@shopper2 iso]# cp -aR /mnt/iso/EFI .
[root@shopper2 iso]# cp -aR /mnt/iso/isolinux .
[root@shopper2 iso]# ls -al /DATA/nstboot/
total 16
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Jan  3 09:14 .
drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4096 Jan  3 09:08 ..
dr-xr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jul 16 09:10 EFI
dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jul 16 09:10 isolinux
[root@shopper2 iso]#
[root@shopper2 iso]# umount /mnt/iso;
[root@shopper2 iso]#

After making modifications, the following mkisofs command can be used to rebuild the ISO boot image for testing.

[root@shopper2 iso]# mkisofs -o /DATA/iso/nstboot.iso -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -J -R -l -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -eltorito-alt-boot -e isolinux/efiboot.img -no-emul-boot -graft-points -V "NST30-BOOT" /DATA/nstboot/;
[root@shopper2 iso]#
[root@shopper2 iso]# ls -al /DATA/iso/nstboot.iso;
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 110659584 Jan  3 09:17 /DATA/iso/nstboot.iso
[root@shopper2 iso]#

Locate Command

The locate command is a linux utility which serves to find files on filesystems. It searches through a prebuilt database: "/var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db" generated by the updatedb command or by a systemd service: "/usr/lib/systemd/system/mlocate-updatedb.service" and timer unit: "/usr/lib/systemd/system/mlocate-updatedb.timer" which is compressed using incremental encoding.

The example below uses the locate command to search for htop files using the regular expression: "/htop$"

[root@shopper2 ~]# locate --regexp '/htop$'
/etc/pcp/pmlogconf/tools/htop
/root/.config/htop
/usr/bin/htop
/usr/share/bash-completion/completions/htop
/usr/share/doc/htop
/usr/share/licenses/htop
/var/lib/pcp/config/pmlogconf/tools/htop

The output below demonstrates how to manually update the default searched database: "/var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db" using the utility: "/usr/libexec/mlocate-run-updatedb"

[root@shopper2 ~]# ls -al /var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db;
-rw-r----- 1 root slocate 13715680 Aug 16 20:17 /var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db
[root@shopper2 ~]# /usr/libexec/mlocate-run-updatedb;
[root@shopper2 ~]# ls -al /var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db;
-rw-r----- 1 root slocate 13715680 Aug 16 20:18 /var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db

Ncat One Liners

Overview

Ncat is a similar tool to netcat provided by Nmap suite. Ncat features includes: ability to chain Ncats together, redirect both TCP and UDP ports to other sites, SSL support, and proxy connections via SOCKS4 or HTTP (CONNECT method) proxies (with optional proxy authentication as well).

Ncat always operates in one of two basic modes: connect mode and listen mode. In connect mode, Ncat initiates a connection (or sends UDP data) to a service that is listening somewhere. For those familiar with socket programming, connect mode is like using the connect function. In listen mode, Ncat waits for an incoming connection (or data receipt), like using the bind and listen functions. You can think of connect mode as “client” mode and listen mode as “server” mode.

To use Ncat in connect mode, run

ncat <host> [<port>]

<host> may be a hostname or IP address, and <port> is a port number. Listen mode is the same, with the addition of the --listen option (or its -l alias):

ncat --listen [<host>] [<port>] ncat -l [<host>] [<port>]

In listen mode, <host> controls the address on which Ncat listens; if you omit it, Ncat will bind to all local interfaces (INADDR_ANY). If the port number is omitted, Ncat uses its default port 31337. Typically only privileged (root) users may bind to a port number lower than 1024. A listening TCP server normally accepts only one connection and will exit after the client disconnects. Combined with the --keep-open option, Ncat accepts multiple concurrent connections up to the connection limit. With --keep-open (or -k for short), the server receives everything sent by any of its clients, and anything the server sends is sent to all of them. A UDP server will communicate with only one client (the first one to send it data), because in UDP there is no list of “connected” clients.

See the Ncat Basic Users' Guide for a detailed infomation.


By default, Ncat uses TCP. The option --udp or -u enables UDP instead, and --sctp enables SCTP. Ncat listens on both IPv4 and IPv6, and connects to either address family as well. The -6 option forces IPv6-only, and -4 forces IPv4-only. For a quick summary of options at any time, run ncat --help or man ncat.

Serial Over TCP/IP - A Remote Serial Stream (stty, ncat)

In this example we will used a GPS serial stream (4800 Baud) connected to USB-to-Serial adapter: "/dev/ttyUSB1" on host: "10.222.222.23" and use ncat to establish a TCP/IP listening socket on port: "22222". On host: "10.222.222.10" we will connect via TCP/IP to this service on host: "10.222.222.23".

On host: "10.222.222.23"

  • First set the serial baud rate and any special settings for the USB-to-Serial device: "/dev/ttyUSB1" using the "stty" utility:
[root@10.222.222.23 ~]# stty -F /dev/ttyUSB1 4800 raw;
  • Next establish the TCP/IP GPS service on port: "22222" via ncat:
[root@10.222.222.23 ~]# ncat -l 22222 > /dev/ttyUSB1 < /dev/ttyUSB1;

On host: "10.222.222.10"

  • Connect to the TCP/IP GPS service on host: "10.222.222.23" using ncat:

Serial Over TCP/IP - A Remote Serial Login Console (stty, ncat, socat, minicom)

In this example we will used a Raspberry PI 4 serial console connection (115200 Baud) attached to USB-to-Serial adapter: "/dev/ttyUSB0" on host: "172.16.1.245" and use ncat to establish a TCP/IP listening socket on port: "22222". On host: "172.16.1.71" we will connect via TCP/IP to this console service on remote host: "172.16.1.245". The socat utility and the terminal emulator "minicom" application will be used to establish an interactive session to the remote Raspberry Pi 4 serial login console.

On host: "172.16.1.245"

  • First set the serial baud rate and any special settings for the USB-to-Serial device: "/dev/ttyUSB0" using the "stty" utility:
[root@172.16.1.245 ~]# stty -F /dev/ttyUSB0 115200 raw;
  • Next establish the TCP/IP Raspberry Pi 4 serial console service on port: "22222" via ncat and put the process in the background:
[root@172.16.1.245 ~]# ncat -l 22222 > /dev/ttyUSB0 < /dev/ttyUSB0 &

On host: "172.16.1.71"

  • Connect to the TCP/IP Raspberry Pi 4 serial console service on host: "172.16.1.245", port: "22222" using socat and put the process in the background. The pseudo terminal: "/dev/ttyV0" will be created by socat for attaching minicom.
[root@172.16.1.245 ~]# socat pty,link=/dev/ttyV0 tcp:172.16.1.245:22222 &
  • Create a minicom configuration in file: "/etc/minirc.ttyV0":
