### Other Commands
|
||||
|
||||
- Print the working directory: `pwd`
|
||||
- Make a script executable: `chmod +x <file>`
|
||||
- Termite the processes with a specific word in it: `killall -q <word>`
|
||||
- Get the current time and settings: `timedatectl`
|
||||
- Show what gets executed when you run a command: `which <command>`
|
||||
- Create a symbolic (soft) link between two files: `ln -s <source> <dest>`
|
||||
- When a program references `dest`, it will link to and give `source`.
|
||||
- In comparison, a hard link is when you make a copy of the file
|
||||
- Change the permissions of a directory to all users: `chmod -R a+rwX dir/`
|
||||
- Give permissions to the user `hello` and the group `world`: `chown -R hello:world dir/`
|
||||
- Given text input, return only unique lines (aka no duplicates): `cat <input_file> | uniq`
|
||||
|
||||
### Changing File Permissions
|
||||
|
||||
- Make a script executable: `chmod +x <file>`
|
||||
- Change the permissions of a directory to all users: `chmod -R a+rwX dir/`
|
||||
- Give anyone and everyone access to a directory: `chmod -R 777 dir/`
|
||||
- Useful for deleting files that the current user can't delete
|
||||
|
||||
Note that you should *never* give a file or directory more permissions than needed. `a+rwX` and `777` should only be used in extreme situations where you have to change permissions before using a file. You should change the permissions back or delete the file when you're done.
|
||||
|
||||
### Searching Through Files
|
||||
|
||||
- Search all files in a directory (and all subdirectories) for a given string: `grep -inr <search_term>` **OR** `g <search_term>`

### Pacaur
|
||||
|
||||
- Install packages: `pacaur -S <packages>`
|
||||
- Remove packages (including dependencies no longer needed): `pacaur -Rs <packages>`
|
||||
- Update all packages: `pacaur -Syu`
|
||||
- Search for a specific package: `pacaur -Ss <package>`
|
||||
Although the examples above use `pacman`, they apply for `pacaur` as well.
|
||||
|
||||
- Install packages: `pacman -S <packages>`
|
||||
- Remove packages (including dependencies no longer needed): `pacman -Rs <packages>`
|
||||
- Update all packages: `pacman -Syu`
|
||||
- Search for a specific package: `pacman -Ss <package>`
|
||||
- List all self-installed packages (i.e. from the AUR): `pacman -Qm`
|
||||
|
||||
Note that if you ever get 404s with `pacman` or `pacaur`, you need to update your local database to the new download locations with `-Syu` first.
