    Advance Linux commands

    To get the list of username with its user ID in formatted way:



    awk -F":" '{ print "username: " $1 "\t\tuid:" $3 }' /etc/passwd
    Find the particular string from the list of files in current directory:



    cd /etc
    for i in $(find -type f); do grep -iH nfsnobody $i; done
    Or



    grep -iH nfsnobody *
    Get the number of occurrences of particular word in file:



    awk '/ServerName/ {i=i+1} END {print i}' /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
    grep ServerName /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
    To delete resources of semaphore arrays from memory:

    ipcs -s | grep apache | perl -e 'while (<STDIN>) { @a=split(/\s+/); print`ipcrm sem $a[1]`}'

    To get the list of IP addresses in the server:



    ifconfig | grep -vw inet6 | grep -w inet | cut -d : -f 2 | cut -d \ -f 1
    Find list of IP address along with eth device and network mask:



    ifconfig | cut -d " " -f1,12,16 | grep -A 1 eth | tr -d - | tr -s "\n" |sed -e :a -e N -e 's/\n/ /'
    Know the performance of your HardDisk:

    change the device address as per your servers configuration



    hdparm -Tt /dev/sda
    The details of the present http connections can be found by using:



    netstat -plan | grep ":80 " | awk {'print $5'} |awk -F: {'print $1'}|sort
    cat /proc/net/ip_conntrack | grep "port=80" | wc -l
    Number of connection from perticular IP address:



    netstat -ntu | awk '{print $5}'| cut -d: -f1 | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr | more
    Only get the listing of directories:



    ls -F $1 | grep \/ | sed -e 's/\/$/4/g'
    Real Time Network Activity Examples:



    watch -d "netstat -nalp |grep -v DGRAM |grep -v STREAM |grep -v LISTEN"
    watch "netstat -nalp"|grep ":TCP PORT Number"
    watch "netstat -nalp"|grep ":22"

      well i will post here some usefull commands such as some time you need to change File Permissions such as .php files are chmod 666 or 777 you want change once all in 644 so what we will do ?

      login with shh and go to your domain root such as

      cd /home/domainloginname/public_html


      well run this command there


      find . -name '*.php' -type f -print -exec chmod 644 {} \;
      where is .php you can your file name it could .html .shtml .aspx .jpg .png .gif what ever need to chmod it will to it self

      if you need chmod few files in other folder like
      you have a folder name gill and it has few files which you want chane Permission:

      what we will do ?
      cd /home/domainloginname/public_html/gill

      lets run this command there


      chmod 0644 *.php

      or chmod 644 *.jpg
      you can change Permission also file name as you need
