Fuck you.
Some helpful (generally) distro-agnostic terminal commands (CTRL+SHIFT+T to bring up terminal in many linux distros)
ps aux
-- shorthand for viewing running processes
netstat -tnulp
-- show processes listening on ports
sudo su -
-- drop into elevated terminal (root shell)
chmod +x <path-to-file>
-- make file executable (eg. you an run via ./<path-to-file>
)
chown <user>:<group> -R directory/path/
-- set recursively set ownership of directory and all sub-files and dirs to user/group
find . -name "some-name.txt"
-- search for files/dirs with given name (supports wildcarding, eg. find-me.*
)
grep -rnwi . -e "<regex-pattern>"
-- recursively search all files and sub-folders for files which contain the following string within file contents
ln -s <from-path> <to-path>
-- create symbolic link
Good hunting.
