Using VI editor on Linux

2010-07-13T13:39:00.000+05:30

Here are the commands that you need to Use VI editor on Linux

Open the terminal and issue,
# vi

Eg : # vi myfirstfile

Insert Text in to the file Using i, a, o, and O

The first way to switch to insert mode is to type the letter i, which, mnemonically enough,inserts text into the file. The other commands that accomplish more or less the same thingare a, to append text to the file; o, to open up a line below the current line; and O, to open up a line above the current line.

Deleting Text

The simplest form of the delete command is the x command, which functions as though you are writing an X over a letter you don’t want on a printed page: It deletes the character under the cursor. Type x five times, and you delete five characters.

2010-07-13T13:34:00.000+05:30

# Display text using a function
function textdis
{
echo "Welcome to my Shell Scripting world";
}
textdis; //execute the function

Press Ctrl^d // on your keyboard to save the document

Now give permission for execution -> chmod +x firstscript.sh

Sources files comes as ".tar.gz", "tar.bz2" and ".zip" files. So what we want to do is unzip these zip files. It is better to use "usr/local/src" directory to unzip them.

For .tar.gz -> use : tar -zxvf < file_name_of_zip>
For tar.bz2 -> use : tar -jxvf < file_name_of_zip>
For .zip -> use : unzip < file_name_of_zip>

Now go in to the unzip file directory and issue follwing commands.(It is better read README.txt or INSTALL.txt files before you installing the source packages).

First configure the source -> ./configure
Then compile the source -> make
Last install the source -> make install
To clean up temp files -> make clean

--status - Check status of a service

Here are some example to show how it works

[root@fedora fedora 11]# service NetworkManager status

NetworkManager(pid 5054) is running ...

Ok now the service is running. So now i am going to stop the service.

[root@fedora fedora 11]# service NetworkManager start
