The cd builtin command - created

Synopsis

cd [-L|-P] [DIRECTORY]

cd -

Description

The cd builtin command is used to change the current working directory

* to the given directory (cd DIRECTORY) * to the previous working directory (cd -) as saved in the OLDPWD shell variable * to the user's home directory as specified in the HOME environment variable (when used without a DIRECTORY argument)

Is there any way to jump back to the previous working directory after doing a cd to a different directory?

My use-case is that I'm traversing a directory structure for a Java project, and I'm expecting that the current directory has only one sub-directory. So, I type cd and hit Tab and Enter rather quickly.

Question: Can I create an encrypted directory with ecryptfs that exists outside of my home directory, which uses the same decryption credentials that my encrypted home directory uses?

Here's the situation:

Code: /dev/sda1 (SSD): / /dev/sdb1 (HDD): /home /dev/sdb2 (HDD): /var and /tmp The above works fine, but I have 80GB free on /dev/sda1 that I'd like accessible from my home directory

I am trying to create few scripts that would change the working directory of the main shell/terminal. Not able to do so. I tried the following

File p1.sh

#!/bin/bash cd /home/mtk/work/project1

File code.sh

#!/bin/bash cd /home/mtk/templates/resusable/sampleCodes

But I am aware that the above would change it only for itself i.e.

I'm searching for just one command — nothing with && or | — that creates a directory and then immediately changes your current directory to the newly-created directory. (This is a question someone got for his exams of "linux-usage", he made a new command that did that, but that didn't give him the points.) This is on a debian server if that matters

Hello,

I installed Tectia client version 6.2.4.212 on our unix boxes.

I am using following command to check the disk usage in my home direcory.

du -sk * | sort -n

I am getting the following output

273240 AQP 707720 oradiag 3176872 J2EEServer 23628720 var 100000910

I get a directory of size 100000910 without a name in the last line . How can I access/delete this ghost directory in my home directory.

I have recently installed Raspbian into a Raspberry Pi. As part of the installation process I changed the user name and group from the default (pi) to my own (let's call it user) using usermod and groupmod. I also moved the home directory (/home/pi) to the new user name (/home/user) using usermod.

Hello,

I recently upgraded from Ubuntu 10.10 to 12.04. Im not used to Unity, yet.

The first thing i usually do on a new installation is to clear my home-directory. Deleting all the directories i don't need, including the 'iPod'-directory.

This works brilliant, and when i delete the 'Desktop'-directory, the content of my home-directory is shown on the background.
