Rsync – Helpful linux command reference
Jan 26th
Rsync is another very powerful command that is used to sync 2 directories between servers and only transfer the new files to the server. This is a great method for backups as it is low on bandwidth and it is also commonly used to keep clustered servers working together. The ending slashes are very important when using rsync. If you are not familiar with how it works simply always make sure to have an ending slash on both the source and the destination and it should be fine.

Jan 26th
The replace command is a very simple but VERY powerful command that comes as part of mysql. It can be used to quickly replace entries within a group of files. Generally I find it useful for mass-modification of an IP for dns or TTL for dns.
