  • schestowitz, on 01/05/2008, -5/+15The title of this page was not very descriptive (too generic), but the cited page is an excellent reference worth bookmarking. Good link.
    • mikelieman, on 01/05/2008, -2/+4The title reads like some Skwisgaar dialog from Metalocylpse
    • CthulhuDawn, on 01/05/2008, -3/+4Great list. Most of these also apply to OS X, but it would be cool to see someone make one of these that applied specifically to Darwin.
      • richardhenry, on 01/06/2008, -0/+2Why is he being dugg down? Makes a good point, 99% of those apply to OS X too, making this resource even MORE useful.
  • tvanwyk, on 01/05/2008, -10/+4The page title is plenty descriptive. The resource is awesome. Props.
  • ravan46, on 01/05/2008, -5/+155Man, if only there were some way to learn about commands inside Linux.
    • fifthecho, on 01/05/2008, -21/+15...I really hope this is a joke.
      • ricree, on 01/05/2008, -1/+48presumably, starting his post with "man" was a play on words, so yes, I think it was a joke.
      • BlkGuyAtThePrty, on 01/06/2008, -0/+2I see what you did there!
    • martalli, on 01/05/2008, -2/+8To quote my machine's command line:
      charley@jose:~$ man stupid
      No manual entry for stupid
      • uskomaton, on 01/05/2008, -0/+1LOL
        Indeed.
        • EruLabs, on 01/05/2008, -0/+5I've always wanted to $ man touch but Bill O'rielly says its... bad...
        • TBagwell, on 01/05/2008, -0/+2you could always touch testes
      • einfeldt, on 01/05/2008, -1/+1@martalli and EruLabs,
        Thanks, guys, you made my day. Nice jokes. I'm wiping the tears from my eyes right now, I was laughing so hard.
        • subgeniusd, on 01/05/2008, -0/+4I envy someone that easily amused........but yes they are clever lads.
    • MadHarvey, on 01/05/2008, -0/+24One useful command that they missed: Apropos. Its good for when you know what your program does, but you don't know the name of the command. Like 'apropos mp3' will return a list of mp3 related commands. Looking at a man page requires the you know the name ahead of time.
      • pebs74, on 01/05/2008, -1/+6also "apt-cache search (key words)"
        • TehDoctor, on 01/05/2008, -2/+9Assuming you use a Debian based distro. Debian/Ubuntu are not the totality of Linux. Think before you shoot your mouth off.

          Please note that I use Kubuntu and have used Debian and I'm not trying to be a *****.
          • martalli, on 01/05/2008, -0/+1true, but the other distros do have similar features. I guess it is the job of the mandriva, suse, fedora, gentoo, etc. guys to pipe in with their package management tricks.
        • cyberpear, on 01/05/2008, -0/+2or in fedora,
          yum search (key words)
      • Ademan, on 01/05/2008, -0/+3man -k foo
        Although that can yield somewhat useless search results as well.
        • rootneg2, on 01/06/2008, -0/+3apropos is essentially just an alias for man -k
      • LowFuel, on 01/06/2008, -3/+1Apropos requires you to know the apropos command ahead of time.
        • ayeroxor, on 01/06/2008, -0/+3Kinda like driving a car requires having one? Thanks for the great tip.
      • rootneg2, on 01/06/2008, -0/+2apropos == man -k

        or in bash
        alias apropos='man -k'
    • muka3d, on 01/05/2008, -1/+12I see what you did there.
    • kronso23, on 01/05/2008, -3/+2man oh man... me too
    • darthgarlic, on 01/06/2008, -0/+0I just love a smartass with a brain.
    • humungusfungus, on 01/06/2008, -0/+1Well done.
  • GMorgan, on 01/05/2008, -3/+5Personally I just use init 0 rather than shutdown to take down the computer and reboot for the obvious. Learning all those shutdown switches is annoying.

    Anyway this page lacks the init calls to switch between different running modes.
    • secrity, on 01/05/2008, -2/+13To reboot, I just type 'reboot'
      • GMorgan, on 01/05/2008, -0/+8That's what I said...

        init 0 is for shutdown.
        • PhinnFort, on 01/05/2008, -0/+9How about "halt"?
          • CATSCEO, on 01/05/2008, -0/+5or 'poweroff'
          • jake6730, on 01/06/2008, -1/+1or 'SILENCE U CPU' !!!
          • rootneg2, on 01/06/2008, -1/+1usually `halt` needs arguments, as in: `halt shutdown -h now`
          • rootneg2, on 01/06/2008, -0/+2oops, I had a stupid moment.

            please digg these two comments down...
    • williebee, on 01/05/2008, -0/+4Sometimes you want to use 'shutdown -t 10 now' to add a little time between SIGTERM and SIGKILL. (with older slow devices)
  • iidestined, on 01/05/2008, -6/+3thanks appreciated
    • superal1394, on 01/05/2008, -2/+2Word, I am trying to set up a CS 1.6 server using Ubuntu Server, and I must say command line is quite intimidating, haha.

      I haven't been in command line since DOS :-/
    • ayeroxor, on 01/06/2008, -0/+4I don't think he likes being called 'Word'.
  • Rassa, on 01/05/2008, -4/+37Dugg for argoments.
  • duffblue, on 01/05/2008, -45/+5Windows does it better.
    • CloseTheCode, on 01/05/2008, -1/+20Does what better? Linux has a notoriously powerful command line, and as far as i'm aware Windows does not. Am I wrong?
      Dugg because this is a great reference. I'm trying to get to grips with Ubuntu and this will be a great help to me.
      • elementfire, on 01/05/2008, -9/+4Well, there is Windows PowerShell...
        • Phocion55, on 01/05/2008, -2/+6Which is actually pretty damn cool. Of course, Microsoft completely dropped the ball on including it in Vista.
        • subgeniusd, on 01/05/2008, -4/+2I read somewhere about a project to port PoweShell to Linux. The hyper-convoluted Bash syntax is probably the biggest barrier to Linux migration. Just mastering new desktop enviroments and a whole raft of new applications is about all most experienced Win users have time for.
    • jcaino, on 01/05/2008, -2/+27That's actually offensive. Windows absolutely fails at the command line. I couldn't imagine managing Window's servers - especially when it comes to remote management, which after all - there is no place/need for a GUI on a server.
      • subgeniusd, on 01/05/2008, -10/+5http://ss64.com/nt/index.html

        This raw XP command list includes far more actions then the average Linux user will ever use. Not included are hundreds of switches, arguments etc etc.
        • martalli, on 01/05/2008, -0/+5That's an upgrade from CPM, maybe...Using autocomplete (not in XP, at least by default anyway), I get this:
          bxxxx@bryanbase:~$
          Display all 2958 possibilities? (y or n)
          Looks like I have almost 3k things I could type into my command line to your short little list,
          • ayeroxor, on 01/06/2008, -0/+1doesn't that also take applications and other executables into account, whereas the XP list is just functions built into the shell?
        • aaronm67, on 01/05/2008, -0/+5It is still far easier to manage a Linux server via command line than a Windows server. In Linux, plaintext config files can change nearly every aspect of most programs, where in Windows, most configuration is done with a gui, with only basic options available by command line.
        • rootneg2, on 01/06/2008, -0/+2Maybe there are more commands, but I still don't think that the XP CLI is as flexible as Bash (or even ash or plain sh for that matter)

          does the windows CLI support aliasing, control structure scripting (if/then, loops, etc), environment variables, pipes, backgrounding/foregrounding, advanced/context sensitive tab-completion, globbing (beyond simple * and ? globs), or even colors? (I'm asking because i truly don't know; I formatted my windows partition years ago... It very well may do some of these things)

          And there is no way in *hell* that the windows CLI could be as spiffy as zsh. zsh is the bestest shell evar.
  • lostinspaceman, on 01/05/2008, -4/+3dugg like buggery, cos i been looking for just this!! good work!
    • ayeroxor, on 01/06/2008, -0/+2Too right, guvna! Jigger me wollops, righty-right? Cheerio!
  • ktulu1115, on 01/05/2008, -4/+12Impressed with this collection, certainly much better then the typical Linux stuff I've seen.
    • lodcrappo, on 01/06/2008, -0/+1my god you need to look a little harder, this list is crap
  • mearom, on 01/05/2008, -24/+7Ron Paul
    • CloseTheCode, on 01/05/2008, -1/+5....has nothing to do with this article?
      • mearom, on 01/05/2008, -3/+5has everything to do with this article
      • einfeldt, on 01/05/2008, -4/+8@CloseTheCode,
        He certainly must be joking. The fact that he came in here and just said Ron Paul is just deadpan funny. The joke is that Ron Paul supporters are so rabid they will find an opportunity to say his name everywhere on Digg, regardless of whether it is relevant or not. The fact that this is about an article on Linux script commands and he still had the audacity to come in here and leave that comment is really funny, IMHO.
    • rootneg2, on 01/06/2008, -1/+1$ ron paul
      bash: ron: command not found
      $ sudo apt-get install ron
      Reading package lists... Done
      Building dependency tree
      Reading state information... Done
      E: Couldn't find package ron

      huh, weird.
  • Phocion55, on 01/05/2008, -2/+47Back in college, I had to do a presentation for a class that involved the use of a webcam hooked up to one of my Linux boxes back at my house. Thing was I completely forgot to install the webcam the night before.

    10 minutes before class: SSH, wget source, tar extract, make && make install, modprobe, and a call to a roommate to plug in the webcam.

    Extremely far fetched example, but the command line saved my ass!
  • ferose333, on 01/05/2008, -2/+1Hurray, the descriptions are concise and on the same page as the list of commands.
  • bsdboy, on 01/05/2008, -1/+2Hey, where's nmap?
    • secrity, on 01/05/2008, -0/+1run nmap as root
      # man nmap
      • bsdboy, on 01/05/2008, -0/+1Should have enclosed the previous comment in sarcasm. My apologies.
  • idd7, on 01/05/2008, -4/+70"The most complete and updated list of commands on linux"

    TAB TAB
    Display all 2726 possibilities? (y or n)
    y
    • bsdboy, on 01/05/2008, -4/+1Is that an "everything" install? :-)
    • williebee, on 01/05/2008, -0/+2Start with 'a' and hit tab two or three times, you will get all the '^a' commands.
      Then do 'man a2p' or what ever.
      • bsdboy, on 01/05/2008, -0/+2export PAGER=cat
        for i in `ls /bin`; do man $i > /dev/lp ; done
        • chad78, on 01/06/2008, -0/+2do *WHAT* to your cat?

          Freakin' freak, dude. Keep your pagers OUTSIDE of your pets! you sick bastard!
    • grakker, on 01/05/2008, -0/+32883 here. Guess I need to start cleaning house....
    • martalli, on 01/05/2008, -0/+12958 here...and adept says I only have 1805/23404 packages installed.
  • BLyn, on 01/05/2008, -4/+4i never understood the difference between 'more' and 'less' till i read this.
    • williebee, on 01/05/2008, -0/+16Easy, more gives you less and less gives you more.
    • andywebb95, on 01/05/2008, -0/+6In this case less is better than more
    • martalli, on 01/05/2008, -1/+2The phrase I remember from the 80's is:
      "less in more, but less is better"
    • oshu, on 01/07/2008, -0/+1"i never understood the difference between 'more' and 'less' till i read this"

      And after reading this, you still don't.

      This list doesn't begin to reveal the awesomeness that is less...

      Try some of the following commands:
      less somefile.rpm
      less somefile.tar.gz
      less somefile.jpg

      This is a perfect example of why this list is worse than useless. Had you read the man page for less, you might have found some of its more interesting features.
  • lickmyback, on 01/05/2008, -1/+16Hoorah... now I know how to use argoments at the Linux commands line.
  • ramsy1980, on 01/05/2008, -0/+11too bad it doesn't state the use of lsof on how to check which process is using a specific port on your linux server.
    "lsof -i :" definitely needs to be added. For example to see which process is using port 80 simply enter "lsof -i :80" (without the quotes of course)
    • stalefries, on 01/06/2008, -0/+1I actually needed to know that the other day, I had an app that couldn't bind to the port it needed to use. Oh well, I just rebooted the system. Good thing it was just a toy.
    • saranagati, on 01/06/2008, -0/+1whats wrong with netstat -tlnp | grep ':80'?
      • petiejoe, on 01/06/2008, -0/+1I've run into a couple cases where netstat didn't work but lsof did. I think it might have had something to do with the user the program was running under. At any rate, there's always more than one way to skin a cat, and sometimes it's best to know a couple different ways to do the same thing in case one doesn't work like you expect it to.
  • radiantarchon, on 01/05/2008, -12/+1nice reference but i still think the command line is one of the biggest deterrents to a person switching from windows or mac to Linux. wouldn't it just be better to make it so the Gui can do all of these?
    • helfire, on 01/05/2008, -1/+3I'm sure 95%+ of people will never touch the command line in osx, beacuse i'm sure they dont realize it exists, The others do because they want/need a terminal, I cant live on windows without cygwin. how are you supposed to do text manipulation without awk or sed?!
      • oneoverzero, on 01/06/2008, -0/+1perl.

        (yes, i know you (can) need to install cygwin on windows in order to get perl)
    • einfeldt, on 01/05/2008, -0/+6@radiantarchon,
      Good question. And yes, the GUI can do all of these things. The command line is just much faster once you learn it.
      But there is a huge movement in GNU Linux to pump up the GUI for the exact reasons that you mention. I support a public middle school in San Francisco with GNU Linux, and the kids almost never touch the command line, except for a few of the more advanced students. The rest of them never even know it's there. For anyone who wants details, you can email me at einfeldt a t gmail do t com
    • rusty0101, on 01/05/2008, -0/+2To be honest, there are times when the gui is a lot of overhead that you specifically don't want. I think that attempting to run a gui on my vps server would be rather difficult, yet most of these commands will run just fine from an ssh conneciton.

      Now that's not to say that you can't do a lot of what these commands provide with a gui. less/more is simply a text browser at one level. You could quite easily create a gui tool that would allow you to read-only view any file that can be accessed.

      So, if you would like to see a gui to do what these commands provide, go for it. Really, the only thing even slowing you down is your own resistance to getting the task started and done. Well, that and learning the language that you would need to do the tasks, but if you've been developing in Windows, I don't think that should be all that big of a hindrance.
    • bowens44, on 01/05/2008, -0/+2THere is almost nothing that you need to use the command to do but the command line makes Linux far superior to windows.
  • TetchyTony, on 01/05/2008, -1/+1Very useful, and I'm printing it now. I'd be happier, and more likely to remember things, if I had some small clue about the syntax. For instance, when to use - -- / | = and where spaces should come and what caps signify. OK, I should work it out, but with DOS it somehow seemed more obvious. Also where did the mnemonics come from, and is there any logic to the switch-names (if that is what they are).
    • helfire, on 01/05/2008, -0/+5- is usually a single alphanumeric switch -p
      -- is usually a word switch --print
      / i've not seen used in *nix world, not to say it couldnt
      | you cant use (as a switch) because it's part of most standard shells, called pipe, would separate to commands, piping the stdout to the next command, cat file.txt | grep "hi"
      = usually means assignment, --prefix=/opt/stuff/

      if you dont know just type the command and look at the usage or type man command
      • saranagati, on 01/06/2008, -0/+1-- followed by a space also means no more options, useful if a file begins with a -
    • subgeniusd, on 01/05/2008, -0/+3The syntax was developed by and for Unix professionals who spend 50 hours a week in the command line. Sure it's about as intuitive as Klingon irregular verb syntax but it was not designed with the occasional user in mind.
  • Homerr, on 01/05/2008, -31/+5...and this is why 99% of us don't use Linux.
    • einfeldt, on 01/05/2008, -1/+24Actually, you used Linux to type the note on this page. Digg runs on Linux. So does Facebook and MySpace and Yahoo and Microsoft's Hotmail and Amazon and Google. So you are actually using Linux all day, every day. Oh, and if you get a Kindle you are using Linux. Same for the Nokia N880. And lots of other devices. Within 5 years, you will be using a mobile phone that runs on Linux, and you won't even know it, because it just works.
      • outsid3rNo17, on 01/05/2008, -5/+11. I bet the phone running Linux won't force me to use the command-line.
        2. The comment about Digg using Linux is pretty lame. For heavy workload, factoring in the price, Linux is the better choice. For single user productivity and small software houses Linux doesn't even stand a chance. Do we always have to fall back to "your web server uses Linux to serve the pages so you must use Linux too" argument?
        • loconet, on 01/06/2008, -0/+2I've worked at several small software houses in the past 10 years. They all used Linux. It more than stands a chance there as well.
      • wdr1, on 01/06/2008, -1/+4No -- Yahoo uses FreeBSD.
        Hotmail runs some variant of Windows (tell to port 80 if you don't believe me). Likewise MySpace (check Netcraft).
        I'm a big fan of Linux, but you can't just make stuff up.
    • jacksbox, on 01/05/2008, -0/+10This is why 1% of us DO use Linux
      • outsid3rNo17, on 01/05/2008, -4/+1I can't even say "you see the glass half-full". This is really sad.
    • technoredneck, on 01/05/2008, -0/+1Windows has a command line too, y'know? So does OS X.
      • realityiswhere, on 01/05/2008, -0/+1And their command line arguments are welcome in their appropriate sections. Your arguments make no sense.
    • rusty0101, on 01/05/2008, -0/+3No, it's why 93% of you don't use Linux or unix at your desktop. 90%+ of these commands work very well at the OSX command prompt. Some of the syntax is a little different, but 'man command' will give you more information for any of those commands that are of interest to you.

      Considering all the places that Linux is showing up, most of you are using Linux every day, and just don't know it, because it's not at your desktop.
    • bowens44, on 01/05/2008, -0/+2Afraid of the power of Linux? Sad.
  • rento, on 01/05/2008, -2/+3Dugg for "dhclient eth0".
  • jonathanriley, on 01/05/2008, -3/+3dugg, and bookmarked.
  • KaJuN4, on 01/05/2008, -16/+3Vote Ron Paul and put an end to the Linux command line madness!
    • mearom, on 01/05/2008, -6/+1praise be upon his name. Paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaul


      seriously this reference is great
    • einfeldt, on 01/05/2008, -6/+1@KaJuN4,
      heh, great Ron Paul joke.
    • martalli, on 01/05/2008, -1/+4Ron Paul uses ubuntu
      • chad78, on 01/06/2008, -0/+1Chuck Norris does not support Ron Paul - therefore Ron Paul has lost already. When Chuck Norris makes a Ron Paul joke - even Ron Paul laughs - because if he didn't - Chuck Norris would kill him with his beard. ***This message was CHUCK APPROVED*
  • SpamBuntu, on 01/05/2008, -0/+26Nice overview!
    Wait, the title is "Linux Commands Line"? Not "Ubuntu Commands Line"? Wow, it's like in the old times ;)
  • williebee, on 01/05/2008, -3/+3Most excellent!
  • PHiZ187, on 01/05/2008, -0/+2This isn't a "complete" or comprehensive list at all. It is useful, but it is targeted at beginners. There are really only a dozen or so commands listed, but it is a long list because of the inclusion of arguments. I think the title is a little misleading.
  • theajaysharma, on 01/05/2008, -1/+5Huh?
    rm -f file1 delete file called 'file1'
    rm -rf dir1 delete directory called 'dir1'
    rm -rf dir1 dir2 delete two directories simultaneously

    what about 'rmdir'? rm -r is recursive delete and rm -f is "force". So rm -rf will recursively force the directory removal and will work. I dunno, rmdir should be in there. First delete the contents of the directory and then rmdir the directory. I know it's easier to rm -rf the directory but I use it to protect myself in the cases where the contents *aren't* empty. Like if I missed a .blah file or something, rmdir will refuse to clear out the directory.
    • martalli, on 01/05/2008, -0/+2I suppose because rmdir has that annoying line...do you really want to delete a directory that is full? Throw caution to the wind and delete the root directory (command not shown since someone might try it)
    • tian2992, on 01/06/2008, -2/+1try sudo rm -rf /
      • martalli, on 01/07/2008, -1/+1That's not really a great thing to go posting. Someone who doesn't know any better will end up making a mess of his computer.
  • dklofas, on 01/05/2008, -0/+2missing awk
    • geehossiphats, on 03/26/2008, -0/+1awk is a complete programming language. not a command. awk kicks ass!
  • Rastafar, on 01/05/2008, -0/+3May be missing some other handy ones as said before, but overall really nice compilation.
    To whoever said there should be a way to learn commands inside Linux, there is plenty of documentation inside every distribution. Check your /usr/doc
    Ubuntu and all those "user friendly" distros have my props for bringing linux to the average user, but the command line should never be forgotten...
    • saranagati, on 01/06/2008, -0/+1did you just hear that woosh sound?
  • PolloLoco, on 01/05/2008, -0/+3Very handy compilation. Dugg and bookmarked for quick reference

    And I thought christmas was over. It just keeps getting better.

  • Cedargrove, on 01/05/2008, -9/+1people who run linux are like people that own macs to me, they have their own little circle of friends with their inside jokes and knowledge and if you aren't part of what they're doing then you're a stupid average userslave of microsoft.... that being said I hate vista but i don't know much about linux or other random ubuntu names that are thrown around digg... because it's a tech site... so people like me treat linux like we imagine the people who use linux treat sports they never played... i don't know what i'm talking about, i'm supposed to be watching this playoff game and i'm typing a comment on digg... preparing to either be buried or informed... i think i stopped learning commands after DOS... they should bring that back... or the C64, I'd be down for some Beachhead
    • Cedargrove, on 01/05/2008, -3/+1To clarify I'm rambling about my ignorance in the face of people who actually learned something better and made a change

  • pixelbeat_, on 01/05/2008, -0/+3Pity they didn't credit where they got the layout and most of the commands:

    • drigattieri, on 01/08/2008, -0/+0LinuxGuide.it thanks pixelbeat.org for "some commands", but layout and most of the commands are not same.
      You can see same commands that we have used on "linux commands line" on ower tutorials in italian language that we have traslated in english language. see: http://www.linuxguide.it/docs.php?sitemap
      We will cite pixelbeat.org for "some commands" on credits page very soon.

  • digitallysick, on 01/05/2008, -0/+5my fav command = locate
    • loconet, on 01/06/2008, -1/+1I like it when I know what I'm looking for is in the latest database. Updatedb takes too long for my preference. For real incredibly powerful searching: "find".
  • josswright, on 01/05/2008, -0/+2I know that there are probably hundreds of commands or options that are "missing" from this list, but one that came in really useful for me was `chmod -R a+rX `.

    The capital 'X' sets the executable bit only on directories, which is necessary to access them, rather than on all files. The result is that you can make a directory tree readable to everyone without having to set all files within it to be executable.
  • johnboyholmes, on 01/06/2008, -0/+2I saw one mistake:

    shutdown -r hours:minutes & (planned shutdown of the system)

    I am pretty sure -r means restart and -h would halt, or shutdown the system.
  • mapkinase, on 01/06/2008, -1/+2apropos is more useful.

    It's XXI century. Nobody cares about lists. Everybody is doing searches.

  • oshu, on 01/06/2008, -0/+3This list is really silly. This is no way to learn commands and here is why: This list is unorganized. It lacks context. Most of the explanations are overly simple and incomplete. Some are just plain wrong. As many have suggested, searching the man pages is a better bet.

    man -k KEYWORD = search the man page summaries for KEYWORD
    man -K KEYWORD = search all of the man page content for KEYWORD

    Now, if you really want to learn to take advantage of the linux/unix command line, do yourself a favor and pick up a copy of Classic Shell Scripting (published by O'Reilly). It isn't just about scripting, its all about the powerful command line utilities.
  • sulf, on 01/06/2008, -1/+7obligatory list:
    strip; view; finger; mount; fcsk; more; yes; umount; sleep
  • antdude, on 01/06/2008, -0/+1arch doesn't work for me Debian. Where is this command from?
    • keimel, on 01/06/2008, -0/+1john@servername:/$ arch
      i686
      john@servername:/$ cat /etc/debian_version
      4.0

      Seems okay to me.
      • antdude, on 01/06/2008, -0/+1$ arch
        -bash: arch: command not found

        $ cat /etc/debian_version

        Weird.

  • lodcrappo, on 01/06/2008, -0/+1This is rubbish. Many of these commands are distro and/or environment dependent. All of them are common knowledge to anyone with half a clue.

    Cut 'n paste crap is no substitute for learning a thing or two. For instance, "man".
  • canadalolz, on 01/06/2008, -0/+2very first command:

    $ arch
    bash: arch: command not found

    lovely list ;)

  • rockmoviewriter, on 01/07/2008, -1/+0I like Linux people because instead of clicking on an icon and entering their password they'd rather cut and paste code or enter a string of commands to get something to work. They also prefer to do things like saw logs with plastic knives instead of a chainsaw.
