Few commands which I am using this moment:
top - to display running processes
pgrep chrome | xargs kill - to kill all chrome processes
whereis - locate the binary, source, and manual page files for a command
ifconfig - I am using this command to get my IP address

Copy paste from here:
The vertical bar character is used to represent a pipe in commands in Linux and other Unix-like operating systems. A pipe is a form of redirection that is used to send the output of one program to another program for further processing.
Example which I use to kill all chrome instances:

Just few things which I learned.
Array:
myList="a b c d";
myListAry=${myList[@]}
for my in $myListAry; do
echo $my;
done
No spaces at sign of equality when assigning a value to variable.
Instead of quotes you can use parentheses also, but in that case I was receiving some stupid error from Grunt:
Syntax error: "(" unexpected (expecting "}")
Also, in my case this example also works (without array):
myList="a b c d";
for my in $myList; do
echo $my;
done
I had to do it without converting to array, because in the Grunt I was receiving error:
"Bad substitution"
Those two examples you can download from here. To test it, save it in a folder, lets say in Downloads, go to that folder:
cd Downloads
Load file:
. ./bash.sh
execute either:
exampleWithoutArray
or:
exampleWithArray
To replace string in a (same) file:
sed -i.bak 's/"'$my'"/"someString"/g' /home/stanko/someFile.txt
Notice that I was using double quotes, because lets assume that in your file you want "someString" replace with my variable but to have quotes. Under single quotes dollar sign ($) is not recognized, that is why I had to "close" quotes.
Switch -i means that I want to replace string in a same file.
Also, when I was loading bash script from terminal window, it seems that variables are populated like global, just once and never again, that is why I had to close terminal window, open it again, and again to load my script, otherwise my changes inside of variables would not be visible....
