Another feature which is very helpful if you find yourself using the command line, and are getting tired of typing all those options, is to learn how to create aliases. A simple alias I have is ll, which stands for ls -l. In my .bashrc file in my home directory, I have a line that says
alias ll = 'ls -l'
I have also modified ls:
alias ls = 'ls --color=auto'
In case you can't remember what the options are for a command:
man ls
brings up the man page for ls.
Something I have used the PID for is to kill some process that's gone haywire.
