You sir are an elitist a**hat who gives the rest of Geekdom a bad name. - Manhigh, on 10/12/2007, -1/+19I like False more. Because, to do nothing, and fail...thats just funny.
- kimos, on 10/12/2007, -2/+16Best command in there:
"true Do nothing, successfully" - lordthor, on 10/12/2007, -3/+14Very nice for an up-and-coming Linux user such as myself. Great reference manual.
- Slayback, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11Oh digg, please don't kill this site; I use it on a regular basis. :(
It is a great reference though, and seeing how lightweight the site is, I don't think it'll go down. - vh1`, on 10/12/2007, -4/+12you can also digg things to show your support for them
- MatttK, on 10/12/2007, -6/+13Never heard of this site in my life but I avoid the command line like the plague (except at work but I mainly use vi or basic filesystem commands).
Thus, I gave this great reference a digg. :) - databasecowboy, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8You have to remember, squirrel, digg is no longer a "tech" site, but a "lifestyle" site; whatever that means.
- DrSkrud, on 10/12/2007, -5/+9Looks useful. Cool :)
I'm not sure I'd call it "complete" though... - TubaTechno, on 10/12/2007, -5/+9I just started with Oracle (coming from SQL). Thanks for the great find.
- dallen, on 10/12/2007, -6/+10That is awesome! Thanks
- incongruity, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4moreover, by it's lack of bash commands, it's a few years out of date for OS X,...hopefully it's better for Windows and Linux...
- Atomic1fire, on 10/12/2007, -4/+7and yet digg is reletively new and many are begining techies (a few oldies such as u)
- Powerdrift, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5I've used this site for a long time now. It has really helped me :)

"I just started with Oracle (coming from SQL). Thanks for the great find." Minus 3 at time of this posting
Bury me for this if you wish, but why did the second comment get modded down? They are virtually the same response. If anything the second guy was grateful because he is working on Oracle Platforms now. If you don't like Oracle and you like Linux more, don't mod the comment down. I don't feel the comment was redundant. There are A LOT fewer Oracle users than Linux users out there. I am failing to see the logic here. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6Website sucks. Doesn't have the full list of any of the operating systems. Handy for quick reference, but what if I need to load and unload a kernel extention in OSX? kextunload, kextload?
Where are the big commands? - kozmo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3ss64 has been around for a long time. I don't know about the other commands, but their Oracle commands are not nearly as good as the Oracle documentation on Oracle's website.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5Oh my Freakin God I am in Nerd Heaven
- natterca, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2++geminitojanus comment... it is the first result in google. "RTFGR - Read the fscking google results".
- Guspaz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3It's good, I guess, but... not quite relevant. Here's why:
1) The "linux" section is mainly just the GNU toolkit plus the built-in BASH commands.
2) The "OSX" section is mainly just the GNU toolkit plus the built-in TCSH commands.
3) Oracle is a database, not an OS shell. What does SQL have to do with the other shell syntax?
Now consider this... You can install BASH on OSX, and TCSH on Linux. So, the "OSX" and "Linux" sections make even LESS sense. Really, I'd rather have a list of commands that are specific to OSX independant of the shell. That'd be more useful to me, as a Windows/Linux user. - zerblat, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3What's even worse, he doesn't include any info about which versions of the various tools the pages apply to. The stuff in the "Linux" section seems to be simply a collection of texinfo documentation (notice the (*note Footnotes::) and other texinfo syntax) for the core GNU utilities, plus the built-in commands in GNU bash, but there's no version information (and options do change, get added or removed in newer versions, so it's pretty important).
Also, lots of it seems to be taken verbatim from copyrighted sources, and he doesn't even give any attribution. Obviously, the GNU documentation is liberally licensed, but it doesn't mean that it isn't copyrighted. - dharm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2this list is lacking.
i just got my oracle OCP certification... the oracle list is hardly a COMPLETE list of commands... they didnt even scratch the surface - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3"Gui's are where its at"
I take it you're not a network admin and/or had hundreds of computers to work on all at once? It's not always practical to use a GUI application. Perhaps for a desktop where someone wants to piss away a few hours with a game or type up a document, but not for real work, IMO.
"Bury me"
With several thumbs down or in knowledge? :) - sorpigal, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5Lame. A list of commands is nothing special; anyone could recreate the Linux or MacOS list in ten minutes if he had a working system. As for those who say it's useful... have you never tried man -k (also known as the apropos command, which you'll notice the site does not list).
Some of the command descriptions are inaccurate, such as the description of kill, or overly simplistic, such as the description of awk. The description of . is plain wrong.
That's for the *nix side. For Windows I don't know--I guess a list like this could be useful. - diecastbeatdown, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3usually these lists are pretty lame, but this one is nicely done.
- jaderobbins, on 10/12/2007, -4/+5Woot! Thanks! Very handy.
- Zagger, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Nice find! have been looking for this...
- clearzen, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Thank you so much. I was actually going to look for a listing of linux bash commands online today. You saved me the time.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1What a joke.
cd /bin; whatis * - mcflynnthm, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3That's awesome. I'd never seen ss64 before, and it does look pretty awesome. This reference alone will help me lots, as I too am new to Linux.
- Ryuuzaki, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I'll only comment on the linux part: Stupid.
This is not better than "info coreutils", the one command everybody must type at least once to learn the most important stuff; after that, one is self-sufficient and can figure everybody else on his own. - Claymore, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Here is a nice one put out by O'Reilly:
http://www.linuxdevcenter.com/linux/cmd/ - sorpigal, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2The first thing to learn about any *nix system: The help command does not help!
More specifically, help is usually a shell builtin for looking up information on shell builtin commands. Only a bare handful of the commands you need to use are shell builtins. Example: cd is built in, ls is not. So you can move around the filesystem but not see where you can move. (Ssh, tab completion is not a something a novice knows anyway.)
For a reasonably useful list of commands on a *nix system you must ls the bin directory, and for a really complete list you must ls every directory in your path. Something like:
for path in $(echo $PATH | tr ':' ' ') ; do for app in $path/* ; do if [ -x $app ] ; then echo $(basename $app) ; fi ; done ; done
Which will give you a crude list of all non-builtin commands available to you at the moment, provided that none of the directories in your $PATH contain spaces. - halleyscomet, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Sadly, it would not.
Windows for example will only list a fraction of ti';s commands if you type a "Help." The details you get from something like "Help xcopy' aren't as complete as they could be.
I don;t work with Linux enough to know if the same is true there, and my Mac won't arrive for another few days. - Zagger, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I think its broken
- jogeek, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1this has been in my bookmarks for years boys, where have you been? *maybe I should start submitting all my bookmarks*
- Zagger, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I can't edit my comment
- stuffhappens, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Linux - no vi
WTF - MasterDwarf, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Good stuff. May be add Cisco's IOS too!
- K4P741NxKRUNCH, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1When your computer dies and you can't boot at all. What do you think Techies like myself use to recover it when you send it to them.
COMMAND LINES
A GUI is important, that goes without saying. If you want a broad userbase it must be userfriendly, but in order to remain functional and moldable, you must always have a command line.
I thank the person who compiled this list!
Dugg - MikeDawg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1obezyana: I'm scared of people with three names.
orangetiki: Alright Carlos. . . Whatever you say. - obezyana, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"This is lame, and like the hundreds of other digg posts about linux commands, oracle commands, and MacOS commands."
And Windows commands. Funny how you didn't complain about that bit. You complain about the other Digg posts about ORACLE commands, but leave out the article's mentions of Windows commands? There's more articles on Digg about Windows than Oracle. - Ryaaan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I guess its not complete, most of those who said that are right. I only submitted because it is a good ref and I dont know much Mac / Oracle command syntax. Everyone can learn.
- bigkm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1i've never seen those os x , GetFileInfo and SetFile commands.
i just used them and i can now do more shell scripts that do stuff only the finder used to be able to do. - Zagger, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yeh right...
- rhrrs2, on 10/12/2007, -4/+4>Next you'll be posting up sourceforge.net and theeldergeek.com.
Hey... what are those? - djfelix, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1 ...
- djfelix, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1If you're in Ubuntu:
whatis `find /bin /usr/bin /usr/sbin /sbin -type f -exec basename {} ;` | sort
Followed by
mkdir -p /var/www/commands; for i in `find /usr/share/man/man1 /usr/share/man/man5 -type f `; do gzip -dc $i | man2html $i > /var/www/commands/`basename $i .gz`.html ; done
And if you want a PDF copy of all of that:
htmldoc -f ~/linux-commands.pdf --book -t pdf14 --links --continuous `ls /var/www/commands`
Done! - brianfgonzalez, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0wow this site has been around for years... im happy it got dugg though, they deserve some recognition for this site.
