Your favorite Linux command/program

[alexander]

that would be quite ok, work-wise i win, but still its a nifty script for people to read through :)

whoever said that bash isnt powerful, must be a fanatic of Bill Gates :)

another cool tool is pf(which i prefer to iptables, but iptables is all we got in linux :) ) and snort, also dont forget nmap and ettercap(if netcat is "the swiss army knife" of network security then ettercap is a swiss army knife that makes you coffee in the morning, fixes your car and builds your house for you)

cat

vim

ls -l

cd

emerge -va

[alexander]

do you ever use "-lsah" argument with ls Kill?

[rockytriton]

hmm, that must not be available on AIX:

 

poppy1:/work/jsf/config# ls -lsah
ls: Not a recognized flag: h

 

I usually use ls -lstr so that I can see the most recent files at the bottom, I tend to use that often because I usually have to go through tons of log files and need to see the most recent ones.

top - I wish that had that on AIX, it's such a pain to figure out the memory/cpu stats for all of my applications, I have to have the admin give me the info as it is now because I don't have access to the AIX tools that do it :)

 

Yeah, in the brief period that Hypography was on dedicated servers I used the top command constantly...to find out what the heck was driving our load up in the high nineties... :)
