Thanks a lot! This one's bookmarked now.

I especially liked history expansion (starts with and contains). I can't count how many times I run a command and it needs to be run with sudo. Although I just use the arrow up key to go through the command history and type sudo if need be. But this is a time saver for sure so I don't have to go through all my history and wear out the ink on the arrow up key.

Next favorite is the alias for convenience and so appreciate the warning :)

Good suggestions.

Kill a process by name

I use pkill for that.

killall is a bit safer than pkill because it will require an exact match of process name and has a few more options.

Whichever you prefer, they accomplish the same thing, just slightly different.

untar is not a command, it is an alias being created to represent the tar function. You can find more information about tar by looking at “man tar”

Posts like these are awesome to see. And it reminds me that I've gotten a bit lax in my knowledge base and experience building. Lately, I do just what I need to at work and focus on expanding that information base where I can. But I've let me experience that I got from useful classes at school lapse. I guess I'll have to come up with a way to correct that issue.

This is some great info, thank you!
