Introduction

Here are a series of pages that will teach you something about different aspects of the command line. Each page has a short introduction which gives you some information, often some new commands to learn, possibly some examples and then a short quiz. Hopefully by using the man pages and a little experimentation you'll be able to go through each of these lessons so that you'll learn a lot more about the command line interface.

CLI Variables

CLI Piping

CLI Process Management

can we set up a xen instance to let students have root?

show studnets that they can have root in our current ltsp setup.

 [[CLI Variables]]
-== Piping ==
+[[CLI Piping]]
-=== Commands ===
- grep  = print lines matching a pattern
- less  = view the contents of a text file
- wc    = print the number of newlines, words, and bytes in files
- cat   = concatenate files and print on the standard output
- find  = search for files in a directory hierarchy
- sort  = sort lines of text files
- awk   = pattern scanning and text processing language
+[[CLI Process Management]]
- lsof  = list open files
- xargs = build and execute command lines from standard input
-=== The Pipe Character ===
+[[CLI I/O Redirection]]
-The pipe is a vertical bar, '|', it allows you to send the output from one command, as input to a second command. It allows you to combine two or more commands to process data using combinations of commands. It is very useful, but requires you to have a strong understanding of the commands that you're going to combine. As you use the command line more, you'll become more familiar with the commands and you'll start to understand which commands make sense to pipe together and which ones don't. Each side of the pipe is a an individual statement, with a command, possible options and possibly some other information that the command needs.
-=== Examples ===
+[[CLI Flow Control]]
-#count the number of files in the ~/examples directory
- ls ~/examples | wc -w
-'ls ~/examples' returns
+== Possible Classes ==
- adv_cli  bash_script  basic_commands  c_example  media_example
-'wc -w' counts the number of words (words are sets of characters surrounded by whitespace. So, when you combine the two you are counting the number of files that were listed.
-==Networking==
 ifconfig, ping, wget, traceroute
