7-deadly-linux-commands

You want to learn about Linux, start from learning what not to do. <a href="http://www.junauza.com/2008/11/7-deadly-linux-commands.html" target="_blank">Here is one for the starting point.

So moral of the story is if someone asks you to do something and you dont know what that command will do, then dont do it. If your inner thing does not allow you not to do it, do it with all the care you can take. May be a backup and most importantly &#8221;DONT USE ROOT LOGIN IF U DONT HAVE REASON TO USE IT&#8221;. BTW there are couple of more articles on these kind of advices but the best way to save yourself is to educate yourself on the outcome of the command you are executing.

And if you want to do it recursively

top command with rc to make it more useful and beautiful.

Just for fun, somedays back I was reading the top command. This command is something that I have been using since long time and have never read the man page so I thought let me do that.

Diff Linux command — Find the difference in files the easier way.

In Linux you can use diff command to find the differences in file.

What is interesting is that you can use &#8221;diff -u&#8221; to list the differences with &#8217;+&#8217; and &#8217;-&#8217; rather than sometimes confusing &#8217;>&#8217; and '<&#8217;.

Running the regular diff between two text files to see the differences is not so elegant for the human eye to decode. Luckily there are plenty of tools out there to make this easy.
