Hi all, I wanted to post a link to this resource, as I believe it might be useful to those who desire to learn more about using the command line interface, especially those of us who need a guide that starts from square one, and provides easy to understand blocks you can start using right away. Even if you already know a bit about the command line, you will probably still find some things new.
You can search Google.com from the Linux command line without using a CLI web browser like lynx or Elinks. All you need is the curl and html2text packages installed. Then you issue the following command:
curl -A Mozilla http://www.google.com/search?q=Linux |html2text -width 80
Add a line in a specific position with Linux
If you need to add a line to a file in Linux, and you need to add that line in a specific position of the file there is an easy solution, even if you need to do it to hundreds of thousands of files.
Consider this file:
line 1
line 2
line 4
As you can see we missed line 3, so to add it just execute this command:
sed '3iline 3'
Parts of the comm
If you're a Linux newbie who wants to learn a bit more about the command line, or if you want to chain a few commands together to get some special output, we have a new tool for you to try. We call it TermBuilder, and it's a web-based command-line generator for Linux and other compatible Unixes.
People new to Linux tend to react to any reference of the Linux shell terminal with fright. But there is nothing scary about our beloved shell terminal, or what we most commonly call the command-line interface (CLI) or simple the command-line. It is a very powerful place to interact with Linux. Every operating system has its own “command-line,” including Windows.
Hello, I have been trying to install Matlab on Fedora and have had nothing but issues.
So, the linux "top" command has the real time-like loop with console output (nothing fancy), but it uses non-blocking console input which doesn't display typed character in the command line. How it's done? Is there any library for it, do they use threads?
Yesterday we introduced your to Linux command line console or shell in our previous post. To read that post, click here.
Today we will continue from where we left off and expand a little into more advanced commands.
I've been running FC16 for almost a year now and my Canon MF4360 laser printer has worked fine. I just noticed that I can no longer print from the linux command line. When I print using lpr, the printer starts up but nothing comes out. If I print from firefox or open the file browser, I can print just fine.
Could this be a conversion problem when preping the text file from the command line?
