SOME USEFUL LINUX COMMANDS

1. Tar command
=============

Create a tar archive
--------------------

root@cpanel [/home]# tar cvzf /root/avid.tar.gz avid/

avid/ is the directory name I want to archive.
avid.tar.gz is the file name that will be assigned for the archive. /root/avid.tar.gz  is the path where the tar file will be stored in to,


Extract a particular file from tar archive to a required location
--------------------------------------------------------------

root@cpanel [/home]#  tar xvzf avid.tar.gz -C /root/ avid/public_html/wp-config.php
avid/public_html/wp-config.php

In the above example the file  avid/public_html/wp-config.php from the tar file avid.tar.gz is extracted to the location /root/.


View the content inside an existing Tar archive
--------------------------------------------------


root@cpanel [/home/avid/public_html]# tar tvzf content.tar.gz
drwxr-xr-x avid/avid         0 2014-04-16 23:36 wp-content/
drwxr-xr-x avid/avid         0 2014-04-16 23:36 wp-content/plugins/
drwxr-xr-x avid/avid         0 2014-04-16 23:36 wp-content/plugins/akismet/
drwxr-xr-x avid/avid         0 2014-04-16 23:36 wp-content/plugins/akismet/views/


========================================================================

2. grep command usage


Case in-sensitive search
-------------------------
root@cpanel [/home/avid/public_html]# grep -i noBody test123.txt
 nobody
 NOBODY

 noBODy



Search and print 3 lines after it
-------------------------------

root@cpanel [/home/avid/public_html]# grep -A 3 dummy test123.txt
 dummy
 pastha
 mytestdo
 shopcpan

Serach and print along with the 3 lines before the text
---------------------------------------------------------
root@cpanel [/home/avid/public_html]# grep -B 3 dummy test123.txt
 avid
 avid
 training
 dummy

root@cpanel [/home/avid/public_html]# grep -C 3 dummy test123.txt
 avid
 avid
 training
 dummy
 pastha

RAID

Check the Raid installed lspci | grep RAID     Software Raid ============== Linux Support For Software RAID Currently, Linux supports the following RAID levels (quoting from the man page): LINEAR RAID0 (striping) RAID1 (mirroring) RAID4 RAID5 RAID6 RAID10 MULTIPATH, and FAULTY. MULTIPATH is not a Software RAID mechanism, but does involve multiple devices: each device is a path to one common physical storage device. FAULTY is also not true RAID, and it only involves one device. It provides a layer over a true device that can be used to inject faults. Install mdadm Type the following command under RHEL / CentOS / Fedora Linux: # yum install mdadm Type the following command under Debian / Ubuntu Linux: # apt-get update && apt-get install mdadm How Do I Create RAID1 Using mdadm? Type the following command to create RAID1 using /dev/sdc1 and /dev/sdd1 (20GB size each). First run fdisk on /dev/sdc and /dev/sdd with " Softwa...
