I remember that back in the days that i started to learn more about the different linux/unix tools, i was fascinated by the great wget http downloader. Believe me, you will end up using this one quite a lot, even just for means of running a cron to update a website or for some more interesting stuff, like downloading a whole website.
You may be thinking why we need to count words, lines or bytes as you read the title of this post. Actually, if you think a bit about it, you will see that it is quite useful to use a command like wc (no, it does not mean Water Cabinet, rather means something like Word Count).
The true beauty about Unix commands is that they can give so much power to the users who spend some time to learn more about them. There are actually dozens of commands that are pretty useful for unix/linux users, so that if one were to write a separate article for each one of them, it would take some serious writing to cover up everything.
I remember myself when first starting to learn about linux and unix that i was pretty intimidated about the several unix commands and how i would go about using them. It was a pretty long going process before getting used to them and so i thought that it would be nice if i wrote a post describing what are the various linux commands or tools that i tend to use almost everyday.
Have you ever had the need to run a particular program in certain periods of time but you just couldn’t do it manually ? Unix and Linux users will certainly face this even once in their systems administration life and it really pays to know of the little but incredible cron tool that you can use in order to automate certain jobs.
