------------------------------------ My self-oriented Linux command guide ------------------------------------ Hi me :P. This is super interesting. OK: - Use vi to edit files. - Starts in command mode. Use y to copy, d to delete and p to paste. Must add postfix onto y and d: w to do it from the cursor to the next word, double the letter to do it full line. Can also use ^ and $. - Switch to input mode with i. Back to command mode with Esc. - Switch to Ex mode with :. Ex mode commands are w save s, add a filename to save as; r reads/loads a file; q quits if saved, q! force-quits; x saves and quits. - Use cat or more to view the contents of files. - Use echo to return the result of a function, or a string you t yped. - Echo 'Strange chops!' > exclamation.txt would put that string in that .txt. - Change the > to >> to append instead of replace. - Use cd to change directory. . is root, / is uppermost, and .. is parent. - Use ls to list files in a directory. Add -l for details. - Use passwd to change default password. - Use mkdir to make a folder. - Use rm to delete files and dirs. - Use mv to move multiple files oor rename one file. - Use ln to create a link to a file. - Use date to return datetime. - Use find to find files in a dir. *s and ?s may be used for any of these commands. (?s are single-char) - Use ps to get a list of running programs. Status S means slee ping, R means running. - Use kill to end a process by force. - ALWAYS POWER DSLINUX DOWN VIA poweroff! Try if get RAM expansion: - Use mp3play to play an mp3. -m to make it mono. - Use wget -O - http://someurl.mp3 | madplay --downsample -d - to stream MP3s from the net. Some other stuff: ----------------- - Some major settings and etc. are in /etc/rc.conf.
