1:31 PM Some funny and cool commands in Linux |
Dedicated to all linux lovers.. If you love working in Linux/Unix operating system, you must try these commands for FUN.
1. REV The rev utility copies the specified files to the standard output, reversing the order of characters in every line. If no files are specified, the standard input is read.
2. SL sl Displays animations aimed to correct users who accidentally enter sl instead of ls. SL stands for Steam Locomotive. This usually happens when a user types 'sl' instead of 'ls' command by mistake. So this command starts a steam locomotive on the screen and reminds user of his/her error. OPTIONS -l shows little one. -F It flies. -e Allow interrupt by Ctrl+C.
3. BB bb is a high quality audio-visual demonstration for your text terminal. You can select Music(Y/N), sound quality etc and continue..
4. FORTUNE fortune - print a random, hopefully interesting, adage. When fortune is run with no arguments it prints out a random epigram. Epigrams are divided into several categories, where each category is sub-divided into those which are potentially offensive and those which are not.
5.COWSAY/COWTHINK cowsay/cowthink - configurable speaking/thinking cow (and a bit more). Cowsay generates an ASCII picture of a cow saying something provided by the user. If run with no arguments, it accepts standard input, word-wraps the message given at about 40 columns, and prints the cow saying the given message on standard output.
6.YES yes - output a string repeatedly until killed. Eg,. #> yes shankar
7. XEYES Xeyes watches what you do and reports to the Boss. It means it will open yes in youe X session as below
8. WHO AM I It will tell you the name you are logged in with and the terminal name where you are logged with the time stamp.
