Unix toolbox
- j_baker 16y agoInteresting, although I'd have probably also put some examples for Python or Perl in alongside the C and C++ examples.
- wazoox 16y agoVery nice overall. Thank you and kudos!
- bkhl 16y agoThis is awesome! bookmarked!
- WestCoastJustin 16y agoIs it only me, or is this website not loading for anyone else? I've tried over the last 30 minutes of so??!?
- tfh 16y agohttp://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/http://cb.vu/unixtoolbox.xhtml http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/http://cb.vu/unixtoolbox.... is your friend.
- WestCoastJustin 16y agoAh, that's useful, thanks ;)
- whimsy 16y agoWOW. If I could, I would vote for this twice! I wish I had found this years earlier; it would have made acclimation to the command-line much quicker. Fantastic.
- starnix17 16y agoThe author's website is incredibly clever: http://cb.vu/ http://cb.vu/ It's a fake terminal but it's surprisingly fully functional (lots of commands work, tab autocompletion, etc.)
- makmanalp 16y agoholy SHIT it even has vi.
- koeselitz 16y agoYou mean: holy shit, it has a functional SSH terminal!
- cyunker 16y ago"sudo is for wimps"

- tetha 16y agono sandwiches :(
- nitrogen 16y agoIt simulates file creation, which can then be retrieved from your browser's cookies using a normal-looking URL. I like it. Incredibly clever indeed.
- india 16y agoCool... It even has fortune.
- zck 16y agoHaha, try su to root, then rm -rf / and see the results.
- johndoe77 16y agoMaybe he'll make this available. It'd be fun to mess around with.
- garply 16y agoSnake is a lot of fun.
- a1g 16y agogood stuff, thank you
- tav 16y agoBrilliant work — my only suggestion would be to add a few more sections for "modern" tools like Git, Mercurial, Nginx, Redis, OpenVPN, Python easy_install, Ruby gems, LXC, etc. And perhaps also a section on ancient, but widely used, systems like autotools — even something as simple as ./configure --prefix would be useful to have known... Hmz, I wonder if the author is aware of this thread on HN?
- avolkov 16y agoPerfections seems to be the enemy of good. Actually I really like site format as ~50 page reference seems to be really useful, or something that you could take on a long car trip and casually look into. I think that maybe programming and Make examples were unnecessary -- they don't really give any idea about what to do with the language and don't present any paradigms or quirks that you might need and there are much better short tutorials on that topic out there. All in all, this wouldn't save you if you got to write something in C++, but this would definitely help if you need to remember some unix command that's just slipped your mind. Though they might have included stuff for LVM to 'file system' section, LVM commands are more or less intuitive as they are.
- a1g 16y agoi dont understand how this is a toolbox as much as it is a command line reference.
- ntulip 16y agothank you. thank you. and thank you.
