Your right… But he should learn more commands, not only the bash specific commands or he’ll be very limited [quote=ramie;2333214]lol, thats me told, I guess iwconfig and clear are more useful that find, ls, cat or tail :bounce: [COLOR=Gray](note: thread about bash ala bash command list)[/COLOR][/quote] More useful??? nope… equal! Also depends on the use of your linux system. Tell me… How can you install servers and format multiple partitions without mkfs? How can u monitorize/securize the WLAN of a webhosting (or whatever) company with more than 300 servers without iwconfig? Can u use kismet without it?.. xD ---

I don’t know, don’t really care either, 🙂 ain’t my job to mate, my networking skill (purposely) stops at pressing the reset button on my router, but I appreciate what your saying and your correct - however this thread was _about_ bash. 99% of the time I use the shell for programing/scripting/maintenance tasks or deployment on a dedicated or vps, I don’t need to know, I doubt the dude who originally posted does either. 😏 ---

This thread was about bash. Go to back to [linuxwarrior.org](http://linuxwarrior.org) and post there : ) ---

Chillax everyone. I got what I needed, I doubt I’ll ever go far beyond bash (been using it a bit more since I asked, btw, so thanks for the tip everyone!). If you guys want to debate the best way to do things, knock yourselves out, but be nice (I’ll settle for mature though). ---
