- lowtolerance, on 02/15/2009, -0/+31This is awesome. I was expecting some crappy Top 20 list.

Oh GOD, that is priceless. Epic ***** fail. - smackydoodle, on 02/15/2009, -2/+19I'll never understand why websites put Digg links on their sites knowing good and well within five minutes of submission their site ***** bricks.
- BxBoy, on 02/15/2009, -5/+19This site has temporarily exceeded its connection limit. Please try again in a few minutes.
- jimbo92107, on 02/15/2009, -1/+15"exceeded limit..." Linux fu meets Digg Effect. Round one goes to Digg Effect.
- jackyyll, on 02/15/2009, -0/+12cd - goes to the previous path you were at.

- MadHarvey, on 02/16/2009, -0/+6not the way they worded it. Your root directory in cygwin usually is some subdirectory of a drive. (it won't take you to c:\). For that, usually you would use cd /cygdrive/c/...
Neither are very useful tips, as they are just common directory traversals, and usually you don't want to return to the root directory you want to go back to your home directory. A good tip just typing 'cd' to go back home. Or 'cd ~/somewhere' where the ~ is a shortcut for home... - RealZneo, on 02/15/2009, -0/+6Great site however it needs more features like
- related commands, external links
- any command can be connected as a response to a command
- multi level tags (categories like subject (image/audio manipulation), by application (mplayer/vlc) etc.
- a community
- a method to distinguish if a command is buried because it too simple, too lame or defect
- warnings about possible dangerous commands
- lots of commands
- good search facilities
- associated cli utilities for all platforms
- gnu license
- digg safe hosting
Keep up the good work;-) - dacheetah, on 02/16/2009, -0/+5Dugg for sarcasm... Please tell me it was sarcasm...
- superc0w, on 02/15/2009, -3/+8cd -
- mrmacky, on 02/15/2009, -0/+5Very cool site, definitely going in the bookmarks.
I wonder if they have any system in place to prevent posting of sudo rm -rf / - rizwanrafique, on 02/15/2009, -0/+5Brilliant. It's going to be one of my favourite links both for reading and posting.
Site needs better connectivity though. Get "Temporarily exceeded itsconnection limit" error. - AlexanderBlue, on 02/16/2009, -0/+5I prefer to just do everything as root. For convenience, mypassword is simply "password". This username and password combination is, of course, found on post-it note along the edge of my monitor... just so I don't forget.
- BxBoy, on 02/15/2009, -2/+6we'll do it live?
- varchar255, on 02/16/2009, -0/+4It works on the standard Windows command prompt...

- rubensj, on 02/15/2009, -0/+4Sort of a ***** because the terminal used on the site has the exact same colors as my terminal; colors that I set because i liked them.
- jackyyll, on 02/15/2009, -0/+3Wow, I totally didn't know about "sudo !!". ***** lifesaver.
- yurimxpxman, on 02/16/2009, -0/+3the title says "The best UNIX commands on the web"
- techdever, on 02/15/2009, -0/+3Fatality!
- bdbr, on 02/16/2009, -0/+3If you or I had submitted it, it wouldn't have even been noticed.
- MacEnvy, on 02/15/2009, -1/+3You can use a *NIX-style command-line in Windows, too. Check out cygwin:
http://www.cygwin.com/
Or if you like the Red Hat version:
http://www.redhat.com/services/custom/cygwin/
Like your mama taught you, never leave home without a decent shell. - MacEnvy, on 02/15/2009, -0/+2Green on black is the way it SHOULD be. That's the first thing I change on any new *NIX install.
- RedRummy, on 02/16/2009, -0/+2oh, i see, it prints a heart, in asterisks.... lol
- javaroast, on 02/16/2009, -0/+2I see that now. You are entirely correct.
- yurimxpxman, on 02/16/2009, -0/+1Fr33th0t, you're hilarious. Try a Windows command in a UNIX-like environment.. epic fail.
- RedRummy, on 02/16/2009, -0/+1what does that python do?
- 2of8, on 02/16/2009, -0/+1"for file in `ls *.pdf`; do convert -verbose -colorspace RGB -resize 800 -interlace none -density 300 -quality 80 $file `echo $file | sed
Convert PDF to JPG
(relies on 'imagemagick')
This command will convert all .pdf files in a directory into a 800px (wide or height, whichever is smaller) image (with the aspect ratio kept) .jpg.
This is a VERY worthwhile command! People pay hundreds of dollars for this in the Windows world."
Only idiots pay hundreds of dollars (or any dollars) for this in the Windows world. It's called Infranview.
I would have posted this on the site but it requires registration. - RealZneo, on 02/15/2009, -0/+1I wonder what license applies to the content on that site. Soon all command lines will under copyright or?
- Virgule, on 02/15/2009, -0/+1This is worth mentioning to the Mac users:
defaults write com.apple.Dock showhidden -bool YES
It turn the Dock icon to transparent when you hide [CMD+H] the app
Also, this is quite awesome:
python -c 'print "\n".join([" ".join(["*"*n for n in t]).center(9) for t in [(3, 3), (9,)] + map(lambda n: (n,), range(9, 0, -2))])' - brettalton, on 02/15/2009, -1/+2Oh. man. That brettalton. He sure gave us some good commands...

</shameless> - rubensj, on 02/16/2009, -0/+1I rock translucent green on black, good stuff.
- kd1s, on 02/17/2009, -0/+1Nice to see I got dugg down for that one. For the noobs, rm = remove
And ! is the NOT operator. - MacEnvy, on 02/15/2009, -0/+1Hee hee, arrowhead.
- evilgourmet, on 02/16/2009, -0/+1I like the one that removes all the files on a system...some of you know not to try that one.
- nextekcarl, on 02/16/2009, -0/+1No, not really at at least (check the Russian roulette line as an example).
- tuxisawesome, on 02/16/2009, -0/+1In python: not funny
- tuxisawesome, on 02/16/2009, -0/+1Python FTW!
- nextekcarl, on 02/16/2009, -0/+1Wouldn't matter. You can't copyright simple commands (at least here in the US) since it is considered to not have any "Creative" effort involved. Besides, any command you could come up with would be a copy of what someone else has written before, and therefore you would be copying them (no matter how clever you may think you are ;^) )
- javaroast, on 02/16/2009, -2/+2It's a command line page believe it or not Windows has a command line as well
- abudhu, on 02/16/2009, -1/+1Another similar site you may all want to check out is: http://snipt.net/
- yurimxpxman, on 02/15/2009, -3/+3Why are there so many Windows commands on a "UNIX" page??
- eseven73, on 02/16/2009, -0/+0Very nice! It allows you to 'bury' posts that are for Windows, so it weeds out the rubbish. And I like the report feature too. Keep up the good work!
- MattBD, on 02/16/2009, -1/+1Me too. I use it in Yakuake on Kubuntu Hardy (the KDE3.5 version).
- thecheatah, on 02/20/2009, -1/+1@jackyyll, on ubuntu it doesnt.
- MattBD, on 02/16/2009, -2/+1Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't that work in Cygwin?
