ls -l 'cat file_etc.txt' -> list the content of /etc and /bin in alfabetical order
du -h 'cat file_etc.txt' -> (du -disk utilization) list the disk utilization for /bin and /etc folders for each file in part
netstat -ant | grep 443 -> monitor the process that run on port 443
sslstatus='netstat -ant | grep 443'
echo $sslstatus -> returns the number of processes runing on port 443
touch file.txt
echo line1 >> file.txt -> append a line to the file
echo line2 >> file.txt
filelist='< list.txt' -> '<' redirection of input
echo $filelist -> print the content of the file on the same line
BASH : PIPES
Connect the output stream of command A to the input strem of a command B
ls -l | wc -l -> returns the number of files in a directory plus one( the . which is teh current direcotry).
ls -A | wc -l -> returns the number of files in a directory. The output strem is redirected.
ls -l | sort -r -> return the file in reverse alfabetic order
ls -A | sort -r | wc -l -> returns the number of files in the folder
touch data
pico data -> write 2 colums separated by space;
CONTENT of file
firstname lastname
first last
---------------------
cat data -> display the data
cat data | cut -f 2 -d ' ' -> -f - field 2; -d - delimiter space
Returns:
lastname
last
---------
cp data data2 -> copy data to data2
pico data2 -> change the demiter to comma ','
cat data2 -> values in the file are delimited by comma ','
cat data2 | cut -f 1 - d ','
Returns:
firstname
first
--------------
cat data2 | cut -f 1 - d ',' | wc -> returns the 2 lines 2 words 14 caracters
ps -ax | grep httpd -> processes that contains streng 'httpd' are displayed
ps -ax |grep httpd | wc -l -> returns a number containing all the httpd processes plus the grep process
pipes are very fast, are done in memory not in disk
ps -ax -> this in done in memory
ls -l | wc -l -> returns the number of files in a directory plus one( the . which is teh current direcotry).
ls -A | wc -l -> returns the number of files in a directory. The output strem is redirected.
ls -l | sort -r -> return the file in reverse alfabetic order
ls -A | sort -r | wc -l -> returns the number of files in the folder

BASH : I/O Redirection
File descriptors 0,1 ,2 corresponds to keyboard, screen, standard error. By default every thing is redirected to screen. Standard input for computer is keyboard.
ls -l -> standard input is used (keyboard) and standard output displayes the results on monitor
Example:
touch file.txt
vi file.txt - type test in the file
cat < file.txt -> the content is displayed in the screen
ls -l /bin -> display the content of the /bin folder
grep test < file.txt -> search for text 'test' in file.txt
vi file.txt -> add another line 'second line'
grep test < file.txt -> Return the line containing the 'test' word
cat file.txt -> displays the containing text from the file
cat file.txt > file2.txt -> copy file.txt into file2.txt
cat file.txt >> file2.txt -> concatenate copy file.txt into file2.txt. The content is double, has the same content dubled
grep test < file.txt > file3.txt -> search text 'test' in file.txt and copy into file3.txt
ls -l -> standard input is used (keyboard) and standard output displayes the results on monitor
Example:
touch file.txt
vi file.txt - type test in the file
cat < file.txt -> the content is displayed in the screen
ls -l /bin -> display the content of the /bin folder
grep test < file.txt -> search for text 'test' in file.txt
vi file.txt -> add another line 'second line'
grep test < file.txt -> Return the line containing the 'test' word
cat file.txt -> displays the containing text from the file
cat file.txt > file2.txt -> copy file.txt into file2.txt
cat file.txt >> file2.txt -> concatenate copy file.txt into file2.txt. The content is double, has the same content dubled
grep test < file.txt > file3.txt -> search text 'test' in file.txt and copy into file3.txt
BASH : Command Chaining and Command Lists
Command Chaining - multiple commands
'pwd; echo hello world' -> prints pwd and then prints 'hello world'
clear;pwd;echo hello world -> 3 commands in a row
clear;pwd;echo hello world;echo another line -> 4commands in a row
clear;cd /;ls -l;echo you are in $PWD;echo time to go back home;cd ~;echo you are now in $PWD; echo you were in $OLDPWD
set | grep $? -> list variables available
Command Lists: && - apersants; || - pipes
ls -l && pwd ->the second will execute only if the first returns status OK which is 0.
ls -l && echo you are now in $PWD
ls -l || echo you are now in $PWD -> the second will execute only if the first returns status FAILED which is 1.
ls -z || echo you are now in $PWD -> the echo will apear because the first command fails
ls -l && ls -z -> both runs and the second displays invalid option
'pwd; echo hello world' -> prints pwd and then prints 'hello world'
clear;pwd;echo hello world -> 3 commands in a row
clear;pwd;echo hello world;echo another line -> 4commands in a row
clear;cd /;ls -l;echo you are in $PWD;echo time to go back home;cd ~;echo you are now in $PWD; echo you were in $OLDPWD
set | grep $? -> list variables available
Command Lists: && - apersants; || - pipes
ls -l && pwd ->the second will execute only if the first returns status OK which is 0.
ls -l && echo you are now in $PWD
ls -l || echo you are now in $PWD -> the second will execute only if the first returns status FAILED which is 1.
ls -z || echo you are now in $PWD -> the echo will apear because the first command fails
ls -l && ls -z -> both runs and the second displays invalid option
