While instance properties can be determined at launch, some of them can be updated after the instance has been created. Specifically, an instance’s memory, disk space, and the number of its CPUs are exposed via daemon settings: local..(cpus|disk|memory).
Here’s a list of common commands along with their descriptions and usage examples:
ls – List Directory Contents
Usage: ls [options] [directory]
Example: ls -l /home (lists all files in /home with detailed information)
cd – Change Directory
Usage: cd [directory]
Example: cd /home/user/Documents (changes the current directory to /home/user/Documents)
pwd – Print Working Directory
Usage: pwd
Example: pwd (displays the path of the current directory)
cat – Concatenate and Display Files
Usage: cat [options] [file]
Example: cat file.txt (displays the content of file.txt)
cp – Copy Files and Directories
Usage: cp [options] source destination
Example: cp file1.txt file2.txt (copies file1.txt to file2.txt)
mv – Move or Rename Files and Directories
Usage: mv [options] source destination
Example: mv file1.txt /home/user/Documents (moves file1.txt to /home/user/Documents)
rm – Remove Files or Directories
Usage: rm [options] file
Example: rm file.txt (removes file.txt)
mkdir – Create a New Directory
Usage: mkdir [options] directory
Example: mkdir new_folder (creates a new directory named new_folder)
rmdir – Remove Empty Directories
Usage: rmdir [options] directory
Example: rmdir old_folder (removes the directory old_folder if it’s empty)
grep – Search Text Using Patterns
Usage: grep [options] pattern [file]
Example: grep "hello" file.txt (searches for the word “hello” in file.txt)
find – Search for Files in a Directory Hierarchy
Usage: find [path] [options] [expression]
Example: find /home -name "file.txt" (finds all files named “file.txt” in /home)
chmod – Change File Modes or Access Control Lists
Usage: chmod [options] mode file
Example: chmod 755 script.sh (sets the permission of script.sh to 755)
chown – Change File Owner and Group
Usage: chown [options] owner[:group] file
Example: chown user:group file.txt (changes the owner of file.txt to ‘user’ and the group to ‘group’)
tail – Output the Last Part of Files
Usage: tail [options] [file]
Example: tail -n 5 file.txt (displays the last 5 lines of file.txt)
head – Output the First Part of Files
Usage: head [options] [file]
Example: head -n 5 file.txt (displays the first 5 lines of file.txt)
man – Interface to the System Reference Manuals
Usage: man [command]
Example: man ls (displays the manual page for the ls command)
This is just a basic set of commands, and there are many more commands and options in Linux. For detailed information and more commands, you can always use the man command followed by the command name to read the manual pages.
