	# Use a "sane" date format in terminal and applications
	# Jeremy Bryan Smith <[email protected]>

	# The following environment variables can be set in your terminal's profile config file.
	# For BASH this typically is ~/.bash_profile for your user or /etc/profile for system-wide.

	# What is a "sane" date format?
	# * I consider a "sane" date format a format that:
	# * Uses 24-hour time format instead of the AM/PM nonsense.
	# * Begins with the most significant number and ends with the least significant number.

	# BASH Gist:
	# Get the PID, standard out, standard error, and the exit code of a process
	# Here we simulate a single program by running a subprocess with () in the background,
	# just long enough to get the PID and start waiting on it to finish.
	# The PID is nice to have available to query the status of the program or to send it a SIGNAL
	#

	# Step 1: Run the process in the background
	# This set of commands simulates a single process that writes to stderr, stdout, and returns
	# exit code 42

	# Here's another ridiculous thing, just for fun...
	# Dont try this at home, kids.
	# Your homework is to implement this in Go.
	# See https://github.com/weaveworks/procspy for a head start.

	# How to get the remote IP and port of socket connecting to the local machine
	# (not necesarily localhost) on port 443 ( hex 0x01BB ) on given PID 13866

	# Given a Process ID (PID), get list of sockets open:
	$ ls -l /proc/13866/fd/ \| grep socket \| grep -o '\[.*\]' \| sed 's/\[//;s/\]//'
