Me and My Raspberry Pi

sdjf's Linux How-to's and Tutorials

Useful Commands

The following pages are about a few selected Linux commands, which you may not know about, that I have found very helpful. They were originally written with the Zaurus PDA in mind, so any comments about how to install packages will not apply to your Raspberry Pi, but there are some very detailed examples that I think will still be of interest if you are not already adept in using these.

awk: manipulate strings or columns of data

grep: search for file containing string

ldd: check dependencies

less: view file(s) with ability to search and scroll

lsof: list of open files

ps: information about current processes
