This is a list of commands from the GNU Core Utilities for Unix environments. These commands can be found on Unix operating systems and most Unix-like operating systems. GNU Core Utilities include basic file, shell and text manipulation utilities. Coreutils includes all of the basic command-line tools that are expected in a POSIX system.
The command w on many Unix-like operating systems provides a quick summary of every user logged into a computer, [1] what each user is currently doing, and what load all the activity is imposing on the computer itself. The command is a one-command combination of several other Unix programs: who, uptime, and ps -a.
A script session is captured in file name typescript by default; to specify a different filename follow the script command with a space and the filename as such: script recorded_session. The recorded format of script consists of plain-text timing information (for the whole session) and verbatim command output, including whatever ANSI escape ...
Other commands for assessing system performance include: uptime – the system reliability and load average; top – for an overall system view; vmstat – vmstat reports information about runnable or blocked processes, memory, paging, block I/O, traps, and CPU. htop – interactive process viewer
Uptime is a measure of system reliability, expressed as the period of time a machine, typically a computer, has been continuously working and available. Uptime is the opposite of downtime. Htop adds an exclamation mark when uptime is longer than 100 days.
In computer programming, a usage message or help message is a brief message displayed by a program that utilizes a command-line interface for execution. This message usually consists of the correct command line usage for the program and includes a list of the correct command-line arguments or options acceptable to said program.
The true command is sometimes substituted with the very similar null command, [1] written as a single colon (:). The null command is built into the shell, and may therefore be more efficient if true is an external program (true is usually a shell built in function). We can rewrite the upper example using : instead of true:
This is a list of POSIX (Portable Operating System Interface) commands as specified by IEEE Std 1003.1-2024, which is part of the Single UNIX Specification (SUS). These commands can be found on Unix operating systems and most Unix-like operating systems.
