Other commands

• man [section] title: man formats a specified set of manual pages. If section is requested, man looks in that section of the manual for the given title. If no section is specified, all man pages from smallest section to the biggest are searched for a match.
• passwd [user]: This command changes a password associated with the user name (your own name by default). The owner must prove knowledge of the old password. If the systems are using NIS (you can login to many machines with the same password) then you should use yppasswd instead.
• login [user]: This command is used when a user initially signs on, or it may be used at any time to change from one user to another.
• who [am i]: who lists the login name, terminal name and login time for each logged in user. Only the users that are using the same system with you are listed (they are logged in to that machine).
• finger [option] [user[@hostname]]: finger gives the list of the users on the system (if there is NIS like our department, all the users in all the machines). If user is specified, only that user is searched and listed. If the hostname is specified, then the users at that system are listed.
• talk user[@hostname]: talk establishes a communication between two users, and lets them talk to each other by writing. Both users see each others screen. If the users are at different systems, then they should specify the hostname in the command. (user and @hostname must be written as a whole. No space. Ex: talk selcuk@bach.ceng.metu.edu.tr).
• write user [terminal]: write copies lines from your terminal to that of another user. Write does not establish a connection between users like talk, it only send the message to the users screen.
• find pathname-list expression: find recursively descends the hierarchy for each pathname in the pathname-list seeking files that match a boolean expression.
• ps [option]: ps prints information about processes.
• kill [-sig] process-id: kill sends the signal sig to the specified processes.
• lpr [option] [filename]: lpr causes the named files to be queued for printing.
