Commands and Command Line Flags

Shell Programming and Scripting
1

Hello

I'm very new to unix, am learning it as part of my new job.

I have a book which has a list in the back, of a number of commands and their command line flags, detailing what these flags are used for.

I've been looking everywhere for an electronic copy of this type of list, so I can print it out and write some notes on it. Does anyone have a copy (or know where I can get one) of a similar list?

Hope that made sense, and I'm sorry if this has been posted in the wrong forum.

Use this http://www.rt.com/man/

And pick out the commands you need and print.

The list you are referrring to, if you give a few details on that viz. book title et al.. then you might find someone who has a soft-copy of that book.

Cheers for the reply

Book is called: Unix Visual Quickstart Guide (2nd Edition)
Authors: Deborah S Ray and Eric J Ray
Published by Peachpit Press

I've emailed the authors (mail returned undeliverable) and the publishers but still no joy getting the list.

Hope that helps

I am not surprised they did not reply.

I suggest you try google extensively.

Here is (probably ?) what you are looking for.
