Here are the Linux Commands that will save you time and headaches
Linux is not just an OS
It is your foundation for real troubleshooting and automation
Here are commands I still use all the time
And how they help when things break
๐ ls โ list files
๐ถcd โ move between folders
๐บ๏ธ pwd โ see where you are
๐ touch โ create empty files
๐ mkdir โ make new directories
๐๏ธ rm โ delete old logs and junk
๐ฆ cp โ copy files safely
๐ mv โ move or rename files
๐ฑ cat โ read configs fast
๐ grep โ search logs for errors
๐ chmod โ fix permissions
๐ฆธ sudo โ run as root when you must
๐ ps โ check what is running
๐ top โ monitor CPU and memory live
๐ df โ check disk space
๐ ifconfig / ip addr โ view network settings
๐ ping โ test connectivity
๐ ssh โ connect to remote servers
๐ฆ tar โ compress backups
๐ man โ read the manual when stuck
๐งฉ ๐๐ผ๐บ๐ฏ๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐บ ๐๐ผ๐ผ
ps aux | grep nginx โ find processes
tar czf backup.tar.gz /etc && scp backup.tar.gz server โ quick backup and copy
Save these and you will script faster
Troubleshoot production with confidence
And stay calm when things go sideways at 3am
