Grok Headline matches for CLI for noobies: test this

CLI for noobies: let's Go!

CLI for noobies: let's Go! 04/19/2004 05:32 AM
I've heard the whimpering in the back. Some of you wimps think the the command-line interface is just too hard. All work and no play, you say. Well, stifle that kind of talk, mister! Linux is (according to Torvalds) all about fun. And the CLI is no exception to that rule. This week we'll take a look at a console game just to prove that point. Ready? Let's Go.

CLI for noobies: have fun with ESR

CLI for noobies: have fun with ESR 06/07/2004 06:05 AM
By "have fun with ESR" I don't mean to argue or agree with his politics. Or his philosophy of open source software either, for that matter. What I mean is simply to enjoy his true genius, which is not in writing parables, or philosophy, or politics: but in writing code. So open a console and extract yourself from that GUI mess for a few minutes, noobie. Let's play some of ESR's favorite games -- on the command line.

CLI for noobies: mother, may I?

CLI for noobies: mother, may I? 01/26/2004 05:03 AM
There are few things as confusing, frustrating, and aggravating for those who come to Linux from Windows as the whole notion of permissions. Based on my own personal experience, I would say as much as 25% of the problems I've had using Linux over the years have been permissions related. It's a subject your mother didn't teach you, and you didn't learn on the playgrounds. That's why we're going to get down and dirty with the CLI today: to learn about permissions on Linux, right here, right now.

CLI for noobies: an initiation more or
less

CLI for noobies: an initiation more or
less 11/13/2003 12:30 PM
Today is all about tips and tricks from the command line. The only thing they share is that at times they can be useful for life on the CLI-frontier and beyond. Most are exceedingly easy to learn and to use. But as always, be sure and do a man or info on each command covered here to fill in the gaps. The last one takes you a little deeper than we've been before. It will be an initiation of sorts. But don't worry. You can handle it.

CLI for noobies: got backup?

CLI for noobies: got backup? 05/17/2004 04:21 AM
You meet the nicest people at the command line: no posturing, no nonsense, just a "get the job done" mentality that seems to get lost when the focus moves away from real functionality to making pretty windows. Get too far away from computing's core values and you could end up with a bug-ridden, security-free, viral infection magnet of an environment. Oh, wait. That's already been done. This week we'll meet one of those nice people you can meet at the CLI and take a look at a command line tool for the most fundamental -- and the most overlooked -- part of personal computing: making backups.

CLI for noobies: man for hier

CLI for noobies: man for hier 10/31/2003 03:50 AM
This is the third in a series of articles on the Linux CLI for Noobies. The last time the topic was files. This is more of the same, except that we are stepping back a pace or two for a broader look. We'll cover where certain types of files are typically kept in Linux distributions. That's where using the man command for "hier" comes into play: it covers the complete file system hierarchy. We'll also spend a little bit of time on how to find or locate that one particular file on your system that you need in order to whatever. So let go of Mama Gui's hand, you wanna-be dweebs, and follow me.

CLI for noobies: need redirection?

CLI for noobies: need redirection? 05/03/2004 05:30 AM
OK, noobies, wake up from that GUI-induced stupor you're in and follow me. This week's column is going to take you in new directions -- or should I say redirections -- on the command line interface. You're probably already familiar with standard transmissions, Standard Oil, and standard rates. For the momement, forget all about those standards and focus on these: STDIN, STDOUT, and STDERR.

CLI for noobies: Sign this!

CLI for noobies: Sign this! 07/12/2004 04:07 AM
Security is everybody's business. Even yours, you lackadaisical, GUI-dependent, louts! So read carefully and learn how you can improve your data security at the command line. In a previous column, we learned how to create the keys for GnuPG, the free software version of Phil Zimmerman's Pretty Good Privacy. This week we'll learn how to use those GnuPG keys to create and verify cryptographic signatures. So grab your Secret Decoder rings and hold on tight, Crypto Kiddies: here we go back to the land of personal cryptography!

CLI for noobies: Midnight Commander

CLI for noobies: Midnight Commander 07/06/2004 06:48 AM
(Ed note: Please welcome Joe Bolin, who is standing in as guest CLI for noobies columnist this week. Joe Barr will return with next week's edition.) With the vast power of the GNU/Linux command line comes an equal amount of complexity. Trying to remember the multitude of commands can be overwhelming at times. As you sit staring at the blackness of your monitor, you wish for an easier way to tame this thing called CLI. Relax all of you GUI addicts, it is now time to introduce you to the wonderful world of Midnight Commander.

CLI for Noobies: not your father's batch

CLI for Noobies: not your father's batch 04/26/2004 06:15 AM
I've heard old-timers say that back in the day, when pulling an all-nighter at the data center, they would put hot dogs on top of an IBM S/360 mainframe to warm them up. Now that's what I call a classical batch environment. These days, batch is a whole 'nother thing. So this week our excuse to break free of those GUI chains for awhile will be to take a look at a handy little program called batch, natch.

CLI for noobies: network tools, can you
dig it?

CLI for noobies: network tools, can you
dig it? 05/24/2004 04:37 AM
This week we're going to take a look at three command line tools which can sometimes help resolve Internet connectivity issues. But first, you lazy louts, you have to get up out of that comfortable but mind-numbing GUI hammock you've been napping in and exercise your typing fingers. If you need additional motivation to break your GUI addiction, consider the fact that Microsoft recently patented the act of double-clicking your rodent. Enough said.

CLI for noobies: everything's a file

CLI for noobies: everything's a file 11/06/2003 12:18 PM
This is the third and final file-related article in the Linux CLI for noobies series. But before we remove our GUI water-wings and dive into the CLI end of the pool to solve the final file mystery, we'll do a quick recap of the series to-date to make sure everyone is up-to-snuff. I also want to take this opportunity to give a shout-out to our friends at Microsoft who are underlining the importance of getting out of the GUI box occasionally and feeling the power of CLI by deciding to "invent" a CLI for Leghorn. Or is that Foghorn? Whatever, it is the name Microsoft is using for their new vaporware OS. It's scheduled to launch in three years, so if the history of MS operating system launches are any guide, it should be here by 2009. And what a compliment that MS calls it "monad." Redmond touting the benefits of a CLI? Amazing. Who knows, maybe their lead designers have been among the noobies learning from this series all along.

CLI for noobies: whatis apropos?

CLI for noobies: whatis apropos? 02/16/2004 07:38 AM
I hate to admit it, but my memory is not as good as it once was. When I can't remember something on my Linux box, I often open a console window to get to the CLI for assistance. Once at the command line, I take advantage of these two handy little CLI tools: whatis and apropos. Maybe you'll find them useful too.

CLI for noobies: mmmmm pizza

CLI for noobies: mmmmm pizza 05/10/2004 04:30 AM
Let's see if I can tempt you laggardly louts out of your GUI nest. How about some pizza? There. I knew that would do it. If anything on earth has the kryptonite-like strength required to melt those GUI shackles, it's pizza. Domino's pizza in this case, delivered to your door. So welcome back to the command line interface, and enjoy your stay.

CLI for noobies: The keys to GnuPG

CLI for noobies: The keys to GnuPG 06/28/2004 05:19 AM
The GNU Privacy Guard (a.k.a. GnuPG, or simply gpg) is a free software implementation of Philip Zimmermann's notorious, powerful, and popular program PGP (Pretty Good Privacy). GnuPG is cooler than a secret decoder ring, so get out of that GUI recliner for a few minutes and come learn a couple of secret spy crypto command line tricks.

CLI for noobies: sort of bragging

CLI for noobies: sort of bragging 06/01/2004 04:26 AM
The Linux GUIs are -- in my opinion -- on par with those of Windows or the Mac for ease of use, though I don't think any of the Linux GUIs are as pretty as that of the Mac, or even Windows. Since pretty is not my top priority when choosing an operating system, I can live with that. But when you compare the command line environment of DOS/Windows with that of Linux, it's like comparing a wheelbarrow with an 18-wheeler. This week we'll look at the sort command, and a couple of options you may not be familiar with.

CLI for noobies: Hack the comment

CLI for noobies: Hack the comment 06/21/2004 04:13 AM
Ok, you GUI-potatoes, listen up. I'm not talking about hacking an RFC (Request for Comment) here. I'm talking about a program called Comment that you can run on your own system. Comment is a free software program released under the BSD license that lets you enter and recall notes from the command line in the blink of an eye -- or, if you type as slowly as I do, in several blinks. So grab a Jolt and get thyself to a console window, we've got some CLI to do.

CLI for noobies: background foreground

CLI for noobies: background foreground
suspend 03/08/2004 11:28 PM
This week, you lame and laggardly louts, we're going to "Bravely go where no Noobies have gone before." We'll fly into the background from the command line interface, and return! But before we do, some good news. It seems that the professional guidance I reported last week may not have been correct after all. There really are some noobies out there who want to learn a little something about the CLI. At least, there is a new book for them. It's from O'Reilly. It's called the "Linux Pocket Guide" by Daniel Barrett. O'Reilly describes it as "a useful alternative for new and experienced Linux users who need a quick and handy means to look up Linux commands." Imagine that, and for normal users to boot. Wish I had thought of something like that and proposed it to a publisher.

CLI for noobies: console surfing with
Lynx

CLI for noobies: console surfing with
Lynx 06/14/2004 05:23 AM
Remember that sense of high-tech adventure you first felt when you began to explore the Internet? The amazement that in the blink of an eye you could be connected to a site in Paris, or Moscow, or San Francisco? Of course, that was before the WWW became the world wide wait. The slowdown of the web is due to primarily to g-forces, and I don't mean gravity. It's the weight of that damn GUI you're reclining in that causes the wait. Come on, you lazy louts, I'll show you one way to regain that sense of cutting-edge adventure by surfing from the console. Meet Lynx, the senior member of the text-based browsing club.

Stress Testing: Using Modular Stress
Test to Test Platforms and Components

Stress Testing: Using Modular Stress
Test to Test Platforms and Components 12/18/2003 12:58 AM
Modular Stress is a flexible system that performs several different types of stress testing. It is based on a set of test modules that each target individual features or components in a platform. The CETK includes a number of operating system (OS) stress modules that target major system components (for example, GWES, FileSys, Kernel, and so on). In addition, the user can create custom modules to target other platform components. The Modular Stress Test harness controls how these tests are run, that is, the sort of test environment that is desired, and collects data on system health throughout the course of a stress run.
