Replace "/home/username" with the appropriate directory. ------------------------------------------ SSH Commands - List >>>> PLEASE CONTINUE TO ADD TO THIS LIST <<<<< Here are a few commands that may be of interest to someone. Handy to print and save. If you have more, please add. ls Displays everything in the current directory ls -a Displays all files, including hidden ls -l Displays all files, along with the size and timestamp tar -zxpf <file.tar.gz> Uncompresses tar.gz files tar -xpf <file.tar.gz> Uncompresses .tar files gunzip <file> Uncompresses .gz files cp <file> Copies a file to a new file mv <file> Moves a file to a new file, or rename mkdir <dir> Creates a directory rmdir <dir> Deletes a directory rm <file> Deletes a file rm -rf <dir> Deletes a directory cd <dir> Moves to a directory cd .. Moves to a lower directory cd ~ Moves to your home directory cd - Moves to the previous directory pwd Displays the current directory pico <file> Edits a file ftp <site> Connect to a FTP server lynx <site> View a webpage df Displays the hard drive stats quota Displays your quota uptime Displays the uptime of the server uname -a Displays the operating system stats whoami Displays your info who Displays others connected to the server last Displays the last login whereis <file> Tells where a file is located BitchX IRC Client mail Check your email ps -x Displays processes your running ps -a Displays all processes running ps -ux Displays running processes, with CPU/Memory usage kill <pid> Kills a process kill -9 <pid> Kills an eggdrop process killall <program> Kills all running process of the same type whatis <command> Description of commands man <command> Displays help on the command nano Same as Pico Top - gives an overall view of what is going on with the server including memory usage, serve load and running processes "q" to exit top sar -q gives a report of the process list, 1 minute and 5 minute average load every 10 minutes since midnight server time tar -zcf filename.tar.gz file Tars up the file or directory of your choice, replace filename.tar.gz with the name you want your tar file to have...with the tar.gz extension on the end and replace file with the file or directory you want to tar up. Can also use a path/to/file for both. updatedb - Updates the locate/search DB. netstat -n -p Useful to see who is connected to your server, this also resolves hostnames to IP addresses and the -p switch shows you what each person connected is doing and provides a PID for it if there is one... useful if you need to kill something find / -user username Replace username with a username of one of your account to find all the files that belong to them. Also useful to add the |more switch so you can scroll one screen at a time. Ever have a client who seems to show a lot more files than are actually in their home directory? This is how you find those files and fix them. Common problem is cpmove files that don't get properly deleted and get added to a users account. /scripts/pkgacct2 username Replace username with a user on your system. This should be done from the home directory. Useful for manually backing up an account if whm copy account doesn't work. Then just move (mv) the file to a home directory accessible via the web and chown user.user filename and chmod to 750 or 755 and you can wget it from a different server if need be. /scripts/restorepkg username Once you've got the file and need to unpack it you use this command. The file should be in the /home directory to use this though. Remember folks.... username.... not cpmove-username.tar.gz crontab -e edit the crontab file and see what is set to run in there. --help Such as tar --help, similar to man it digs up info on any given command. tail -10 filename gives you the last 10 lines of a file. Can change the # to whatever you want. Couple of Brians now cp -R fileordirectory path/to/destination. the -R allows you to copy an entire directory to somewhere else. kill -9 not just for eggdrops... it's called a "hard kill" and handy for killing off any stubborn process that refuses to die. whereis can also use locate or find (although locate is faster) killall not just for killing programs.. you can also killall <user> to kill all processes being run by a user. Handy if you have an abuser eating up system resources. RESTART SERVICES: service (service name) restart Stop a service: service (service name) stop Start a service: service (service name) start Status (doesn't work on all): service (service name) status On a RedHat CPanel server, here are the useful services: bandmin chkservd cpanel crond exim httpd mysql named proftpd CRON INFO: Root crontab: crontab -e To edit a users cron jobs crontab -u username -e Replace username with the actual username of the client you want to edit.

To add to MrHerald's fine list, I believer you should be able to add --help to and of those commands to get additional parameters. For example: ls --help that should give you some additional arguments for the list command. I like to alternate between ls -al ls -a For fun you can also checkout: top (press q to quit when done) pwd displays your location (print working directory) cd (this will return you to your home directory if all you type is "cd" and press enter) touch creates an empty file [example] touch myfile.txt uptime displays the uptime hostname displays the network name of your server finger displays a list of the users logged into the host who I forget what this does ps displays your running processes kill to kill a hung process (kill -9 to stop right away) mysqldump used to backup your mysql databases [example backup] mysqldump --add-drop-table -uYourUserName -pYourPassword YourDatabaseName > backup-file.sql gzip use for compressing files [example] gzip -9 filename nice used to set your process to different levels [example] nice -n 19 gzip mydatabase.sql This will run the gzip process at the lowest priority on the host. I highly recommend using nice -n 19 whenever you have CPU intensive commands. Reason being is that it is polite to the other members on your server.

I've noticed that it's a skin bug. I'll try to reinstall the skin later today, until then you may use the default IPB skin instead. -
These them is approved by the IPS company and, at least for me, it seems to be working better than Delicate Blue. Also, I had to change this as we're still investigating high server load.

Yes Rick, here's the reason why Believe it or not, monthly fee for a dedicated server is 179$ Note: This server issues could be related to bulk mail which was sent to our users, which is canceled now. Everything should be running normally now, if not, only way to stay online is dedicated server.

Dear visitors of WinCert.net Due to a constant problems with a semi-dedi server, we were urged to move our site onto a better server. This server is much more expensive than a semi-dedi one with the price of 90$/month. We are kindly asking you to donate if you can, to help and keep this site running. As usual, I'm also asking you to test the forum and report any issues you may experience in this topic. We also would like to know if you're satisfied with the forum speed, compared to our previous server. Welcome back and thanks for your patience during the downtime. WinCert.net Administration Team.

I doubt, since Gorki hasn't been active for a while. Hopefully someone else will make an update for you. Cheers.
