Hi Dennis - a few thing come to mind: tee is a basic tool - as is ssh (needs it's own sheet I think) like screen perhaps - tree is also a handy extended/visual ls. the need to mount/umount devices is always new to windows folks - getting oriented with dmesg and uname is good to know too. Nmap is handy, but it might be more SysAdminish - like nice. Rather than a section on SELinux - you could mention all of the tools for file meta-data in one place > making chown chmod and chcon a set of tools gives selinux useful context. I would add unison right next to rsync - and lynx for browsing from the command line - and anacron is cron for laptops. Scripts begin with #! /bin/bash.. Typically have a couple [ in them.. and are often made quiet with ./script > /dev/null 2>&1 my favourite tool is detox (but for standard unix there is tr or dos2unix/unix2dos) for text conversions; or convert for images or transcode for video. finally, for me, xargs turns more scripts into one-liners than anything else. echo? lpr? there really are too many to list on just one page... Looks nice - I can't wait to see the final version. --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
