[CLUE-Tech] Some CLI examples for new people

[Jeff Falgout]

I'd like to put together a "show" of about 5 commands that will flow
into each other and show the power of CLI.  I'm npen to suggestions.

Don't forget about   find  with the -exec switch. Way powerful!!

find . -type f -exec chmod 700 {} \;

Find all files in the current directory and below and execute chmod
700
on each one. 

I use this a lot to also run perl one liners, for example to do a find
and
replace to change a hyperlink in html files.

find . -type f -exec perl -p -i -e 's/foo/bar/ {} \;

will find files in current directory and replace foo with bar.
