While I am taking my UNIX/LINUX Systems Administration training, I pick up cool UNIX tidbits and it is time to share some more of my latest tidbits. (First installment)
Random commands and information I have jotted down:
- When compiling something from source code, I used to always use:
./configurethenmakethenmake install, but I learned you can combine commands so you can use:./configure; maketogether in one statement while compiling source code. - Daemon stands for Disk And Execution MONitor
- Sometimes we don’t want to remove an account, but we need to disable it temporarily. A common way of doing this is by adding a star (*) to the beginning of their encrypted password in /etc/shadow using a text editor.
- The command
host -v www jappler.comwill show the server address and DNS servers for jappler.com - The command
kill -HUPon the process ID to kill the process and restart it.
That is it for now, more to come soon.
