Slackware local shutdown script (to wipe out /tmp etc.)

Doesn't exist, but according to rc.local it's ok to create & use it :)

Desktop files are located here: /usr/local/share/applications | /usr/share/applications/

List only symbolic links in current directory

find . -type l -exec ls -la {} \;

Got to say that here: find with -exec param is sooooo mighty!

Copy files recursively without keeping directory structure (Linux)

We had to copy many files that were located in a very complex directory structure. The following snippet searches the current directory and its subdirectories for *.xml files & executes the cp command on every file it finds (the braces {} represent the file):

find -type f -iname '*.xml' -exec cp {} /target/dir/for/all/xmls/ \;

The target dir now contains all *.xml files without directories.

All Methods from a Javascript Object

I wrote that little helper because webdeveloper toolbar didn't show all methods to me. Maybe it's useful for you too.

console.log & debug flag?

Instead of checking the DEBUG flag everytime you need a debug info, like this:

    if (DEBUG) {
        console.log("my debug output");
    }

you can just check the DEBUG flag once and disable the console.log function, like this:

    if (DEBUG === false) {
        console = {
            log: function() {}
        };
    }

This enables you to simply call:

    console.log("my debug output")

in your application. If DEBUG is true, you'll get your output. If DEBUG is false, console.log() will be called but is an empty function and thus will produce no output / error.
