UNIX commands that are actually interesting

 

  1. Try the command “top” on one of the workstations or the SUN servers, it stands for “Table of Processes” and looks something like below, If you notice it is a continuous display, to quit just type “ctrl+c” or the letter “q” and its quits the program, but the interesting thing to note is the username on the left, and how much of the CPU is he/she using on the right. You can do a lot of neat things with this utility, try typing the letter ‘h’ to get a help listing and play around with the few options like sorting the display based on memory usage etc.
