Ubuntu: Recent command history (terminal)

Hello guys,
In this post I'm gonna show you "How to display and play with a list of recent commands in Ubuntu?".
To check history of command or to get info about command executed by user, we can use the following command:

history

It will display the list of all the command executed, along with a serial number indiacating the oerder in which they are executed.

Now you may feel it dificult to find a specific command among them. In order to do so, we can combine the history with grep.

history | grep version

This will display a list of command in which the word "version" has appeared.

We can also execute a specific command by knowing its serial number from this list. After getting the result from history command, just type the number preceeded by ! to execute the command. To execute command which is at number 115 in the list, just type

!115

It will run the 115th command in the history list.

To re-run a recent command that starts with xyz, just type !xyz.

!histo

It may display the recent history, if no other command would have been executed after recent history command.

And the most commonly used reverse search:

Ctrl + R

After typing this command, type a keyword to search. When you found your command, just press enter.

Setting JVM Heap size at runtime

To set the JVM heap size, compile the program normally. For example, consider Runtime.java program. Compilation: javac Runtime.java Now, to set minimum heap size(let, 16 MB) required by JVM, run the program as follows : java -Xms16m Runtime We can also restrict maximum size(let 512 MB) utilized by JVM: java -Xmx512m Runtime Both these options can also be combined to specify upper and lower bounds of JVM heap size: java -Xms16m -Xmx512m Runtime Now you can run a program that requires huge computational space.

JavaScript - Singleton Pattern

The singleton design pattern is probably the simplest and most common pattern in JavaScript. So why should you use the singleton pattern? Encapsulation of members & functions Creates its own Namespace A singleton is a single instance object Encourages code reuse Improves readability because you can logically organise your code The point of a singleton is to only have one instance. A shopping cart is a good example of something that you may want only a single instance of at one time. The simplest form of Singleton is an object literal. This loose form of Singleton cannot be instantiated. All of the members are now accessible through the Singleton variable, accessible through dot notation. var myCart = { self: this , totalCost: 0, totalQty: 0, cart: {}, getCart: function (){ }, updateCart: function (){ } }; alert( "Total cost: ...

Find an old archived link on web

In recent past, I'm need of a tool, to which the provider no longer provides the link to download. Previously I've blogged about Openlogic , which serves this purpose. Openlogic contains unofficial fork of the original repository, and to be precise, I haven't found the tool I'm in search of. I found Internet Archive : Wayback Machine , while searching for it. It has got 412 billion stored pages and you may look into older versions of any website or you can get link to any software/tool which used to be a website. All you have to do is, provide a link or part of a link to search. For example, to know how my website used to be in 2013, just type http://www.thechaithanya.com and you can see a calender with some of the dates highlighted, on which they had the snapshot of my website. You can even provide a part of link. For example, to get the link of older version of Android ADT, search using http://dl.google.com/android/adt/* You can find a set of links and...
