Speaking of date/time stuff, is there anything that would convert to the current time zone? e.g. echo "03/Mar/2013 01:16:52 +0000" | mytz => 02/Mar/2013 17:16:52 -0800
Sun Mar 3 10:05:17 PST 2013
The above converts to the system TZ. Or:
$ echo $( export TZ=CST; date -d "Sun Mar 3 18:05:17 UTC 2013" )
Sun Mar 3 18:05:17 CST 2013
The above converts from any TZ to any other TZ, without resetting your shell's TZ variable.
Another alternative is 'ts' which is part of joey hess's awesome collection of unix tools, moreutils.[1] I did not find out about ts until too late so I am still in the habit of using tai64n from djb's daemontools, which adds a tai64 timestamp to every file[2] and then tai64nlocal[3] in order to convert the timestamps to something useful to humans. If you don't know about moreutils check out the collection. I don't k…

If it's Linux, ifconfig isn't maintained anymore and might actually be lying (eg, virtual IPs on vlans on bonded NICs - sounds exotic but almost every trading house uses this config). Use the 'ip' command for most things you would have done with 'ifconfig'.
If it's BSD, ignore that and ifconfig away.

which doesn't invoke a subshell. env vars can always be prepended to the executable name for use with just that program (not sure if that's bash only, though).

It also colour codes the output and allows you to tail multiple files simultaneously.
huhsamovar, you are shadowbanned.

Whoa! No kidding? I wrote a program years ago, probably around 2005, also called sponge, that does exactly this[1].
I'm not sure how to feel about this. Obviously the idea was a good one, but it's equally obvious I suck at getting the word out about my creations.
