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.
