Jot
Jot is a Unix program that prints sequential or random data. It's useful when you need a bunch of random words from a file or need a large numeric list.
This is just another way to generate a list of random words.
Random Group of Words
#! /bin/bash
jot -r -c 1000000 a z | rs -g 0 6 | sort | join /usr/share/dict/words - | uniq
Examples of using Jot
Sometimes it's easier to learn a command when you see several examples:
List the Years
If you needed to list the years in a decade or a large data range:
jot - 1950 1960
jot - 1970 2016
Multiple Text
Bart Simpsons would have loved this jot script:
jot -b "I will not cheat and output this text 20 times." 20
Hours in a Day
List out the hours in a day. (Could be done in Excel just as Easier)
jot -w '%01d:00' 12
