General VPS Commands Print

  • 0

 

All these commands can be run in SSH as the root user

 

top

like windows task manager

We can install "htop" like top but more graphical

 

free -m

show the free, used and total ram in mb

 

CD directory_to_go_to

Will change the current working directory e.g. "cd /etc/"

 

LS

Will list all of the files in the current working directory, add -l for more info e.g. "ls -l"

 

PWD

Display the current directory path.

 

ping ip_address

same as ping in windows cmd, you will need to do ctrl+c to stop the ping.


nano file_name

like notpad for linux, run "yum install -y nano" if you don't have it already

 

find / -type f -size +20000k -exec ls -lh {} \; | awk '{ print $9 ": " $5 }'

Display all of the "large files" on your VPS

 

/etc/init.d/httpd stop
/etc/init.d/httpd start
/etc/init.d/httpd restart

stop, start or restart apache, should be done after any config changes

/etc/init.d/mysqld stop
/etc/init.d/mysqld start
/etc/init.d/mysqld restart

stop, start or restart the mysql server

They are some basic commands, not all may work on your VPS server.

These are mainly for LxAdmin CentOS VPS servers.
