Firefox Killer

I use this when VNCing into my home machine from work. Firefox won’t run if my other session has it running, so I just run ffkiller.sh and then I’m good. You could modify this for just about any annoying process…
#!/bin/bash
ffox=`/sbin/pidof firefox-bin`
if [ -z "$ffox" ]
then
echo “Firefox is not running”
exit 2
fi
echo “Killing Firefox!”
kill $ffox
echo “Firefox is dead…”


Mount ISO

#!/bin/bash
if [ $# -eq 0 ]
then
echo “usage: mountiso file mountpoint”
exit 1
fi
mount -o loop -t iso9660 $1 $2

Convert Video for Youtube upload

#!/bin/bash
mencoder $1 -ovc xvid -oac mp3lame -xvidencopts fixed_quant=4 -vf expand=aspect=4/3,scale=448:336 -o $1-tubed.avi
