I came across this command whilst setting up ssh:
$ w
20:01:30 up 6 days, 2:20, 3 users, load average: 0.06, 0.11, 0.10
USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE JCPU PCPU WHAT
rick tty7 :0 16Jun20 6days 16:51 2.37s /sbin/upstart --user
rick pts/21 192.168.0.12 18:44 1:14m 0.19s 0.00s sleep 60
rick pts/22 192.168.0.12 18:45 0.00s 0.44s 0.01s w
Which led me to wonder what all the one letter commands are in Ubuntu. I didn’t find an exact reference but I found this website:
Here the w command is listed along with:
.the command to source a file which I’ve usedvis a command not installed in Ubuntu. It is said to be equivalent tols -l -b. This in turn is similar to the thellalias setup by Ubuntu except files beginning with.(including the infamous.and..) are not included.
Are there other one letter commands installed within Ubuntu by default?
