Linux cheat sheet
- Nursie 14y agoNice work, would be a good guide for *nix (ok mostly linux) command line beginners to have around. Which I guess is entirely the point :)
- LukeShu 14y agoWhat package is md5deep from? I've never seen it, but had several use-cases for it.
- nawitus 14y agoI think it's faster to Google something than to use these kind of lists. Of course, there's value from skimming through the list once.
- kevinskii 14y agoI've long had this website bookmarked in my browser toolbar. It is excellent both as a quick reference and as an in-depth guide to commands: http://cb.vu/unixtoolbox.xhtml http://cb.vu/unixtoolbox.xhtml
- stefantalpalaru 14y agoLinux is not limited to the Debian flavors.
- fsck0ff 14y agoI can't believe a list of commands is GPL licensed, this is ridiculous...
- MereInterest 14y agoBy the letter of the law, the arrangement is copyrightable, though the information itself is not, in the same way that the arrangement of a phone book is copyrightable even though the phone numbers are not. Yes, it is ridiculous.
- derleth 14y ago> the arrangement of a phone book is copyrightable Not in the US. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feist_v._Rural http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feist_v._Rural http://www.law.cornell.edu/copyright/cases/499_US_340.htm http://www.law.cornell.edu/copyright/cases/499_US_340.htm
- DanBC 14y agoYou just posted links that agree with the person you're replying too - that a list of numbers is not copyrightable but arranging that list in a particular way becomes copyrightable.
- derleth 14y ago> The court ruled that Rural's directory was nothing more than an alphabetic list of all subscribers to its service, which it was required to compile under law, and that no creative expression was involved. The fact that Rural spent considerable time and money collecting the data was irrelevant to copyright law, and Rural's copyright claim was dismissed. Therefore, the arrangement was not copyrightable, as it was a simple alphabetic listing with no creativity.
- DanBC 14y ago> In regard to collections of facts, O'Connor states that copyright can only apply to the creative aspects of collection: the creative choice of what data to include or exclude, the order and style in which the information is presented, etc., but not on the information itself. If Feist were to take the directory and rearrange them it would destroy the copyright owned in the data. The arrangement was copyrightable. An alphabetic list isn't, but arranging that list turns it into something copyrightable.
- dmckay 14y agoGood stuff, except this, ssh -x [username]@[ipaddress] is the opposite of what he wanted to do, it's ssh -X. -x disables forwarding.
- subway 14y agossh -Y would probably be an even better choice for this sort of document, lest the end user find themselves going 'Why the heck isn't this working?'.
- nu2ycombinator 14y agoHuh. Way to use github.
- stuffihavemade 14y agols -a should be ls -la if you want "maximum information" (not really maximum) Also, ifconfig is deprecated.
- felipebrnd 14y agoInteresting, there is mention to execution control but doesn't cite [command] && [command] and [command] || [command]
- visarga 14y agoCan I find out what files a process is using, and what files are most used at the moment? It would help debug heavy load moments, when the disk becomes less responsive.
- gnosis 14y agoTo find out what files a given process is using: lsof -p PID where "PID" is the process id of the process in question. As for which files are most used at the moment, I'm not sure. However, "iotop" will show you which processes are using the most io at the moment.
- chrisbolt 14y agoMost used files: lsof -n | grep REG | awk '{print $9}' | sort | uniq -c | sort -n
- Zigurd 14y agoLike all git novices, they forgot "git add."
- sparx 14y agosince when Linux is equivalent to Ubuntu? and why git/mysql stuff are included for linux cheat sheet?
- scjr 14y agoI'm yet to see any of these command line tips show (GNU) tar with the -a (--auto-compress) tag # compress a file, tar will automatically compress it according to the file extension you use tar -caf archive.tar.gz file1 file2 ... # extract a file, again tar will automatically pass it through the right decompression program tar -xaf archive.tar.gz
- williamhackmore 14y agoHey all, yes, I am the author of the cheat sheet. You all spotted a ton of typos that I hadn't even noticed. Thank you! I have just been flooded with patches. I am trying to sort through them now. Thank you for all of your work. I know it may seem odd to GPL a list of commands. My intention was to build up a minimal reference sheet covering just what people need to know to get started with Linux Dev, but also with a special attempt to include obscure and useful features that may benefit old-timers perusing this reference. I have since attempted to address the Ubuntu/Debian centric perspective of the sheet. I also addressed the comments about "&&" and "ssh -X" I will also expand the section on "tar." -William Hackmore
