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

Linux SMB write performance With Simple Tips

By
SMB write performance can be increased by Tuning the buffer cache. The secret to good performance is to keep as much of the data in memory for as long as is possible. Writing to the disk is the slowest part of any filesystem. If you know that the filesystem will be heavily used, then you can tune this process for Linux Samba. writing out dirty blocks to the disk until the filesystem buffer cache is 80 percent full (80). default is 40%, source = http://tldp.org/LDP/solrhe/Securing-Optimizing-Linux-RH-Edition-v1.3/chap29sec287.html by writing echo 80 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_ratio I am getting around 2MB increase while write operation, tested in Xp. I have tried with this single option, as the ref source is for linux 2.2 and we are using 2.6 kernel. we can try out Linux General Optimization suggested at http://tldp.org/LDP/solrhe/Securing-Optimizing-Linux-RH-Edition-v1.3/gen-optim.html Tried with smb.conf, I am getting around 1MB gain while read and write. socket options = TCP_NODELAY I...
