Hi, I use extensively shell and shell script for more than ten years. I've collected many helper functions and aliases in my bashrc. Finally I published possible most interesting stuff in reusable form here: https://github.com/makelinux/lib It is easy to use single file script of 300 SLOC. It contains 40 functions and aliases with short description.
Most interesting functions are: ps-cpu - lists most CPU consuming processes ps-mem - lists most memory consuming processes ps-wchan - shows what processes are waiting for, used in debugging blocked processes mem_avail_kb - Returns available for allocation RAM, which is sum of MemFree, Buffers and Cached memory readline-bindings - shows current readline bindings, used as shell keyboard shortcuts, in more readable format, see also man readline duplicates - finds duplicate files for_each - applies an operation to set of arguments one by one fs_usage - show biggest directories and optionally files on a filesystem, for example on root: fs_usage -a / system_status_short - shows short summary of system resources (RAM,CPU) usage git_fixup - interactive fixup of specified number of last git commits tcpdump-text - tcpdump of payload in text git_ign_add - add files' names with path to appropriate .gitignore list Also I found and expanded list of existed shell libraries and published in wiki: http://elinux.org/Scripting Reuse, reviews, fixes, updates and discussions are highly appreciated.
