UNIX commands and Notes

Summarize the size of a group of gz files: 

ls -l *.gz | awk '{sum += $5} END {print sum}'

rsync

Remote and local file syncronization. Given two directories dir1 and dir2, you can synchronize the contents of dir2 to dir1 as follows: 

rsync -a dir1/ dir2

The trailing slash on dir1 ensures that the contents of dir1 are transferred but not dir1 itself. Two other useful flags: 

rsync -avn dir1/ dir2

v = verbose, n = dry-run

rsync to a remote machine

rsync -a local_dir username@remote_host:destination_directory

-P option will give you a progress bar, and in case of an interrupted transfer will also allow you to resume later.
