What's the issue?

[hobbit666]

@Son-of-Jor-El
She's been suffering from Back pain for nearly 12+ months now had MRI scans/X-rays etc see GP's and Consultants. Now been referred to a Neurosurgeon following one of the MRI/X-ray results.

Something to do with the back of the brain trying to escape the scull and go down the spine.

Anyone have a reference for why they named the linux commands what they named them?

Example: df display filesystem? Disk Free. Makes sense.

The man pages generally explain it.

Ah, man pages. If you haven't yet, learn to love your man pages.

[scottalanmiller]

• df - disk free
• du - disk utilization
• cat - concatenate
• tail - view the tail end of a file
• head - view the head of a file
• view - view a file
• rpm - redhat package manager
• yum - yellowdog update manager
• top - show the "top" processes
• ps - process
• glance - take a "glance" at the system
• cp - CoPy
• mv - MoVe
• finger - look up people in the directory like running your finger down the white pages (based on 1970s AT&T advertisements)
• who - WHO is on the system
• uptime - tell me the uptime of the system
• nice - change how nice a process is to other processes
• find - find the file I'm looking for
• whereis - where is that damn file?
