I needed a second instance of Atom to run on a second monitor:
open -n /Applications/Atom.app
Or even shorter:
open -na Atom
I got there via: Launch & Run Multiple Instances of Any Application in Mac OS X
The reason is that searching for Mac OS X start second Atom instance does not reveal satisfactory results, as the tips in these links all fail:

In order to scan some local networks for unknown hosts (yes, on some sites you need to perform archeology), I needed the local IPv4 addresses, netmasks and CIDRs on my Mac running OS X.
Part of that is using ifconfig to get local inet information which however uses hexadecimal network masks and delivers no CIDRs.
SoI was a bit premature when I wrote about “This could be done by creating bash functions mask2cdr and cdr2mask, but that’s a bit too convoluted right now” in Getting the IP addresses of gmail MX servers – via Super User – dig isn’t enough.
I need mask2cdr now, so lets start with these two bash functions and their aliases:

I always forget which OS X versions there are and which names they use.
So via: OS X – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, I made this list where the first item points to the table in the above article and each subsequent item to the individual article on the version. I tried to find EOL dates, but that’s hard despite the overview at Apple security updates – Apple Support:

PS: EOL dates are as of 20160403.

Conditions are very, very good right now for easy, top-quality, final ingestion of original commercial Apple II Software and if you know people sitting on a pile of it or even if you have a small handful of boxes, please get in touch with me to arrange the disks to be imaged. apple@textfiles.com.
For example, piles and piles of educational software has returned from potential oblivion, because it’s about the preservation, not the title. Wonderfully done works are being brought back to life and are playable on the Internet Archive.
In other words: if you have or know someone who has disks with original, uncracked software that cannot be copied easily, let the team at the WayBack machine know as they have the resources that can help preserve that software.

In addition to my post about Mac OS X: restarting Google Drive when it shows a spinning wheel, restarting a hanging Tunnelblick is even easier:
killall Tunnelblick
open -a Tunnelblick

Every now and then, Google Drive on Mac OS X gets confused and starts showing the spinning wheel when hovering over the menu bar icon similar to for instance DropBox does every once in a while.
This is how to terminate and restart Google Drive from the terminal (no need for su):
killall -v -SIGKILL Google\ Drive
open -a Google\ Drive
Alternatively you can start Google Drive using this:
/Applications/Google\ Drive.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Drive &
I found this executable through osx – Find all executable files within a folder in terminal – Ask Different
Note that this won’t kill Google Drive as it sends the TERM signal (SIGTERM):
killall -v Google\ Drive

Explains how to find out top 10 files and directories under Unix / Linux using sort and du command in human-readable format.
Interesting, especially
alias 'ducks=du -cks * | sort -rn | head'
