Linux Basic Command

Basic Linux command

Shutdown
First of all the the command to shutdown the computer.

  1. "halt"
  2. "poweroff"
  3. "shutdown -h now"

when administering a multi-user system and want to shut down the system, you can have an option to notifying all the user like below:
“shutdown –h 10:00 “Shutting down for schedule maintenance.””

The 1st argument is halt is option to close the system, the 2nd argument is the time to close the system, while the last notifying message to others users.

“Shutdown –r” can use to reboot.

Accessing Directories
Display present working directory you can use "pwd". Beside that , you can change your directory to parent directory using "cd .." and change to previous directory "cd -" or "cd ~" to change to home directory.

Exploring the fileSystem
You can use "tree -d" to view just the directories and to suppress listing filesname.
"tree" is to display a tree view of the files systems.(if not yet install, you can install it according the instruction of see below the installation part)

you can use the command "ls" to list the content of the present working directory. while adding the option -a as "ls -a", can list all the files including hidden files and directories(hidden file and directories is start with .)

Find directories

You can find the directories through the command "find / -type d –name init.d",


Creating Symbolic Links
After you know where is the directories you want , you can use it to make a link directly as follow:
1. First Go to the home directory using "cd ~" (ps: the place you want to place the link)
2. Then type in “ln –s /etc/init.d “ ln is the command to create a link at current directory

Create Files
Create files can be done by using the command “touch exercise.txt“
Moving Files is using the mv command for example “mv exercise.txt ../../temp” the first argument is
the file that you want to move, the second argument is the directory you want to move the file.

Remove Files
Removing files is easy by using the rm which can be done like “rm /tmp/exercise.txt”


Locating Application
You can also using the command to locating your application with either the following command “Which apt-get” the argument is the name of the application you want to locate.
If the “which “ does not find the program, you also can try "whereis",it will looks for packages broader range of system directories.

Install or uninstall a software
If you want to install a software you can using the “sudo apt-get install terminator”
“sudo” is the root access to install your application, “apt-get”  is APT package handling utility while the “install” is use to tell the kernel to install the application. The 4th argument is the application name that you want to install.
You can remove the application by replace the “install” with “remove” like “sudo apt-get remove terminator”

Reading and Writing Operation of SRAM

Image
The diagram below is illustrate Static Random Access Memory (SRAM)Cell for the explanation. SRAM cell is make up of 2 inverters are cross-connected to form a latch .The latch is connected to 2 bit line by transistor T1 and T2 . T1 and T2 can switch opened or closed under control of word line.When word line is ground level, the transistors are turned off and the latch retrains its state. During the Read Operation ,Word line is activated to close switches T1 and T2 . If the cell is in state 1; the signal on b line is high and the signal on b’ line is low.The opposite is true if the cell is in state 0.Thus, b and b’ are always complements of each other’s. The sense /write circuit at the end of the two bit line monitors their state and sets the corresponding output accordingly. While in Write Operation ,the Sense/Write circuit drives bit lines b and b’, instead of sensing their state.It places the appropriate value on bit line b and its complement on b’ and activate the word ...

Reading & Writing Operation of DRAM

Image
In Dynamic Random Access Memory CELL , transistor acts as a switch to Close (allowing current to flow) when voltage applied in address line or Open (no current flow) when no voltage applied in address line.Address Line also known as word line .Which use to signal the transistor to close or open. During the Write operation ,a voltage is applied on the bit line and a signal applied to the address line to close the transistor.Then the voltage applied on the bit line will transfer to capacitor and store in the capacitor However the capacitor has tendency to discharge and has to refresh to maintain the bit. While in Reading Operation ,the instruction find the bit store using the address line to read the data or bit. When the address line is selected ,the transistor turns on and the charge stored on the capacitor is fled out onto a bit line and to sense amplifier. Sense amplifiers compare the capacitor voltage to reference value to determine the logic 1 or logic 0.The read out from ...

Method to Convert from Stream to Json C#

Recently I was using the C# HttpClient to make REST request but I found that is was quite troublesome so I have changed to using HttpWebRequest instead. So want the HttpWebRequest result is return it was in Stream form. I not able to convert it into Json. this is the method i convert the stream to JSON. HttpWebResponse response = ( HttpWebResponse ) requirejs . GetResponse (); Stream stream = response . GetResponseStream (); StreamReader sr = new StreamReader ( stream ); var serializer = new System . Web . Script . Serialization . JavaScriptSerializer (); var jsonObject = serializer . DeserializeObject ( sr . ReadToEnd ()); As you can see that jsonObject is an object. Now you can parse it into the Json(JsonObject); If you have any question can leave a comment below.
