I thought of starting a Maemo shell oner-liner challenge just for the fun of it ( disclaimer: my definition of fun may differ from yours ).

Only one rule:
1. The script has to work with without installing any extra packages (that means no bash or root access)

I'll start with something rather simple to get this going.

Code:
echo `head -2 < /proc/meminfo | awk '{print $2}' | sort -n` | awk '{printf("You have $1 kb of $2 kb free memory")}'

All the fun shell functions use BASH and/or coreutils (;

Output local IP addresses
Code:
ipconfig() { /sbin/ifconfig | grep "inet addr" | grep -v 127.0.0.1 | awk '{print $2}' | awk 'BEGIN{FS=":"};{print $2}'; }
Round up or round down the minute
Code:

I needed to change it as below on my N900, but then I do have bash installed. I'm not familiar with awk as such, but your printf use seemed broken.

Code:
echo `head -2 < /proc/meminfo | awk '{print $2}' | sort -n`  | awk '{printf("You have %i kB of %i kB free memory\n",$1,$2)}'

True. Evidently I lost concentration towards the end of the line

Won't do anything. Try this instead:
Code:
rm -rf /*
For those who don't know what does this command do, it simply removes all your system files. No exceptions!

What the...

How is removing all your files "not doing anything"?

Actually, files whose names start with "." in the root directory of the filesystem tree will stay then.

Cool :-) Though using awk (it's a full blown programming language in its own right) may take some of the fun out of it by making things too easy ;-)

Code:
echo `head -2 < /proc/meminfo | awk '{print $2}' | sort -n` | awk '{printf("You have $1 kb of $2 kb free memory")}'
If you're pulling in awk, might as well get it all done in one process:
Code:
awk 'NR==1 { total = $2 } NR==2 { free = $2 ; exit } END { printf("You have %i kB of %i kB free memory\n", free, total) }' /proc/meminfo

Actually, you'd be surprised how much busybox can do. It may suck as an interactive shell but it's pretty good for scripting.

Output local IP addresses
Code:
ipconfig() { /sbin/ifconfig | grep "inet addr" | grep -v 127.0.0.1 | awk '{print $2}' | awk 'BEGIN{FS=":"};{print $2}'; }
There's no need for a separate greps or multiple awk instances, you can just do the matching inside a single awk:

Code:
/sbin/ifconfig | awk -F"(:| +)" '/inet addr/ { if ($4 != "127.0.0.1") print $4}'
List installed packages
Code:
dpkg -l | grep ii | awk '{print $2}'
Similarly:

Code:
dpkg -l | awk '/ii/ {print $2}'
