Description

rr (random run) runs a command with randomized arguments. Basically, $ rr mpv *.mp4 will give you a true shuffle, that doesn't play the same file twice. There are lots more options: $ rr xv -nolimit -- * allows you to specify options that won't be jumbled. $ rr -n 500 -r -x '.*.pdf' xv -nolimit -- * will run xv several times on all files below the current directory except those matching '.*.pdf', limiting each run to 500 parameters. See the manpage for details.
