Linux Magazine's Tip of the Day

Linux Magazine offers a `tip of the day` section that might be useful for all you linux n00bs & gurus - here are the latest tips:

The X File

Written by Martin Streicher   
To run X clients securely, use ssh -Y host. DISPLAY is automatically set to encrypt and tunnel X protocol back to the X server.

Rename With Impunity

Written by Martin Streicher   
Do you need to change the extension of many files at a time? Nothing is faster than zsh -c "autoload zmv; noglob zmv -W *.a *.b".

Jump Back

Written by Aram Yegenian   
To go back to the last directory you visited, simply type cd -. (Thanks to Aram Yegenian)

Contract Killer

Written by Martin Streicher   
Want to kill a process the quick and easy way? Try killall /path/to/file, which kills all processes executing /path/to/file.
