Linux Command Line Most Used Shortcuts

By
Just sharing some of the command line shortcuts that I used and learnt; please share yours also.

1. To search in history or run previous commands
This is my most used shortcut. Hit Control-R and begin to type a string.

For example, type the following and hit Enter.

grep root /etc/passwd

Then hit Control-R and begin to type 'grep'.

Control-R
(reverse-i-search)`gre': grep root /etc/passwd

When you see the original command listed, hit Enter to execute it. Alternatively, you can also hit the Right-Arrow to edit the command before running it.


Use -> ctrl + r and type the command, to go one more level back again hit ctrl + r, to edit the command before you execute use right key arrow.

2. To clear the present screen use -> ctrl + l (My discovery works on board also).

3. To edit previous command using vi commands -> set -o vi

Now you can use the Vi cw command to change the word in command.

4. Use of alias

alias ll='ls -l'
alias gohome='cd; ls'
If you want these custom aliases should be available each login, add them to your .bashrc.

You can refer to command line Bible got by chancehttp://blog.taragana.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/linux-command-line.jpg

Remote debugging for ARM target board

By
Remote debugging for ARM target board With GDB one can both trace and modify code and data flow, and otherwise analyze the behavior of code, without explicitly changing any of it. Rather than run a full-blown instance of GDB on the target platform, you can use GDBserver , a program that lets you run GDB on a different machine than the one on which your program is running. The advantage of using GDBserver is that it needs just a fraction of the target resources that GDB consumes, because it implements only the low-level functionality of the debugger -- namely setting breakpoints and accessing the target processor registers and read/write application memory. GDBserver takes control of the application being debugged, and then waits for instructions from a remote instance of GDB running on a development workstation. Remote target needs to have debugging stub (gdbserver), The gdbserver is also referred to as the 'stub' and must be cross-compiled for that targ...
