3 favorite commands
Good list. I use these (BASH) commands almost everyday:
- Ctrl+R: Reverse search through your history of commands for something.
- !! Reruns the last command.
- Placing a # at the beginning of a command line to comment out its execution (I do this sometimes when typing a long command that I’m not sure is going to work — that way it’s in my history and doesn’t execute until I can verify the command).
Along the lines of my last post, here are three of my favorite unix/linux utilities that I often take for granted, but that a lot of people aren’t familiar with.
- screen - screen is a full-screen window manager that multiplexes a physical terminal between several processes (typically interactive shells).
- iostat -The iostat command is used for monitoring system input/output device loading by observing the time the devices are active in relation to their average transfer rates.
- watch -Execute a program periodically, showing output full screen.
Nothing too crazy here, but if you do what I do, and you don’t know these commands, you should learn them.
