### Linux Self Assessment
df you get "command not found". What could be wrong and how to fix it?
Most likely the default/generated $PATH was somehow modified or overridden thus not containing /bin/ where df would normally go.
This issue could also happen if bash_profile or any configuration file of your interpreter was wrongly modified, causing erratics behaviours.
You would solve this by fixing your $PATH variable:
As to fix it there are several options:
1. Manually adding what you need to your $PATH PATH="$PATH":/user/bin:/..etc
2. You have your weird env variables backed up.
3. You would look for your distro default $PATH variable, copy paste using method #1
Note: There are many ways of getting errors like this: if bash_profile or any configuration file of your interpreter was wrongly modified; causing erratics behaviours,
permissions issues, bad compiled software (if you compiled it by yourself)... there is no answer that will be true 100% of the time.
cron and at.
With cron, tasks are scheduled using the following format:
*/30 * * * * bash myscript.sh Executes the script every 30 minutes.
crontab -e
Alternatively if you are using a distro with systemd it's recommended to use systemd timers.

dstat -t is great for identifying network and disk issues.
netstat -tnlaup can be used to see which processes are running on which ports.
lsof -i -P can be used for the same purpose as netstat.
ngrep -d any metafilter for matching regex against payloads of packets.
tcpdump for capturing packets

dstat -t is great for identifying network and disk issues.
opensnoop can be used to see which files are being opened on the system (in real time).

The syntax is:
```lambda[parameters]: [expresion]```
**Examples:**
* A lambda function add 10 with any argument passed.
```py
x = lambda a: a + 10
print(x(10))
```
* An addition function
```py
addition = lambda x, y: x + y
print(addition(10, 20))
```
* Squaring function
```py
square = lambda x : x ** 2
print(square(5))
```
Generally it is considered a bad practice under PEP 8 to assign a lambda expresion, they are meant to be used as parameters and inside of other defined functions.
x = [1, 2, 3][['1', '2', '3'], ['4', '5', '6']]# Note: :list and -> bool are just python typings, they are not needed for the correct execution of the algorithm.
Taking advantage of sets and len:
```
def is_unique(l:list) -> bool:
return len(set(l)) == len(l)
```
This one is can be seen used in other programming languages.
```
def is_unique2(l:list) -> bool:
seen = []
for i in l:
if i in seen:
return False
seen.append(i)
return True
```
Here we just count and make sure every element is just repeated once.
```
def is_unique3(l:list) -> bool:
for i in l:
if l.count(i) > 1:
return False
return True
```
This one might look more convulated but hey, one liners.
```
def is_unique4(l:list) -> bool:
return all(map(lambda x: l.count(x) < 2, l))
```

will always return None regardless of the operations, therefore

every time, that's what decorators do, they introduce syntax to write all of this on the go, using the keyword '@'.
These two decorators (ntimes and timer) are usually used to display decorators functionalities, you can find them in lots of
tutorials/reviews. I first saw these examples two years ago in pyData 2017. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lmCu8wz8ro&t=3731s
```
Simple decorator:
def deco(f):
print(f"Hi I am the {f.__name__}() function!")
return f
@deco
def hello_world():
return "Hi, I'm in!"
a = hello_world()
print(a)
>>> Hi I am the hello_world() function!
Hi, I'm in!
```
This is the simplest decorator version, it basically saves us from writting a = deco(hello_world()).
But at this point we can only control the before execution, let's take on the after:
```
def deco(f):
def wrapper(*args, **kwargs):
print("Rick Sanchez!")
func = f(*args, **kwargs)
print("I'm in!")
return func
return wrapper
@deco
def f(word):
print(word)
a = f("************")
>>> Rick Sanchez!
************
I'm in!
```
deco receives a function -> f
wrapper receives the arguments -> *args, **kwargs
wrapper returns the function plus the arguments -> f(*args, **kwargs)
deco returns wrapper.
As you can see we conveniently do things before and after the execution of a given function.
For example, we could write a decorator that calculates the execution time of a function.
```
import time
def deco(f):
def wrapper(*args, **kwargs):
before = time.time()
func = f(*args, **kwargs)
after = time.time()
print(after-before)
return func
return wrapper
@deco
def f():
time.sleep(2)
print("************")
a = f()
>>> 2.0008859634399414
```
Or create a decorator that executes a function n times.
```
def n_times(n):
def wrapper(f):
def inner(*args, **kwargs):
for _ in range(n):
func = f(*args, **kwargs)
return func
return inner
return wrapper
@n_times(4)
def f():
print("************")
a = f()
>>>************
************
************
************
