A piece of Linux command a day...

oreoboy · #1 12-10-2003 **A piece of Linux command a day...**

hhehehe... just to make this linux forum more happening.. provide us a piece of command each time you read this topic...

Let me start first.. Alamak.. I am a dummy in linux.. i just know...

ls - to list all file and directory in current directory... betul ke?

**bachok83** · #2 12-10-2003

hahahaha nice...

locate filename - is used when you want to find file named filename

cp filename /path/ - is used to copy file to folder /path/

remember, there is no dir command in linux... (i got infected by a virus once, the ls command cannot be used, but dir simply replace the task.. what a tragedy

)

mv path1/filename path2/filename can be used to rename or move files where path1 is your source and path2 is your destination

**bachok83** · #4 12-10-2003

what was rename command againt?? i forgot LOL

**masterof_none** · #5 12-10-2003

rename command is

mv old_filename new_filename

the same command for moving files across directories.

oreoboy · #6 12-10-2003

can i ask....?

what is chmod for?

**masterof_none** · #7 12-10-2003

chmod is used to change the file permission

in unix, every file has permission. To look at the file permission at a particular directory, use :

ls -l

you will see sth like this :

rwx--x-wx stuff.c

r = read,
w = write
x = execute.

chmod can change those permissions .

also, you can type man chmod for details.

**masterof_none** · #8 13-10-2003

you can use one of these 2 ways:
1. use the digit that represent the permission,

e.g
chmod 777 stuff.c
would let every user read, write and execute.
Those digits, 7, represent different permissions.

2. use the alphabet.
e.g chmod a+rwx stuff.c
a =all (user),

ps aux

lists all processes and their PID, owner, percentage of memory used, percentage of CPU used... handy when you have processes that eat up resources to kill

just type

kill PID
