Or you might want to just retrieve a particular set of lines from a file. Enter split, wc, tail, cat, and grep. (don’t forget sed and awk). Linux contains a rich set of utilities for working with text files on the command line. For our task today we will use split and wc. That’s kinda big… but how many lines are we dealing with? If we wanted to import this into Excel, we would need to keep it less than 65k lines....

The ASP.NET development environment on Ubuntu Linux is called XSP. you’re free to install both environments side by side if need be. Requirements: Mono development environment.

Here are eight quick ways to do it on Ubuntu. What is a Partition? It presents almost everything you would ever need to know, but is still fairly neat and readable. Hannah Stryker / How-To Geek It should be among your first picks if you want a quick partition list. However, unlike fdisk it is not interactive, and it doesn’t handleGPT partitions. It is commonly used when you oughta a script that manipulates partitions in some way....

Backing up your database is a very important system administration task, and should generally be run from a cron job at scheduled intervals. We will use the mysqldump utility included with mysql to dump the contents of the database to a text file that can be easily re-imported. Syntax: mysqldump -h localhost -u root -pmypassword databasename > dumpfile.sql Example: mysqldump -h localhost -u root -p2Uad7as9 database01 > dumpfile.sql This will give you a text file containing all the commands required to recreate the database....
