A number of system commands are available to the end-user such as df and and du that allow you to view the disk space currently used and the amount of disk space occupied by a particular folder, respectively. These system commands do not require you to be be logged on as root (the superuser administrator account). Use the df Command
Use the du Command
Use the free Command
Use the ps Command
After you have worked with some of the system commands, you can close the terminal window. Type exit and then press Enter to return to the NLD desktop. Note The root account (the administrator account) has been mentioned in this chapter and the fact that some NLD settings can be changed only when you know the root password. You can also administer NLD from the command shell, and there are a large number of commands and command utilities available to root. To access the root account at the command line, type su and then press Enter. Type the root password and then press Enter again. If you are really interested in more of the administrative possibilities related to NLD, you may want to check out the book Novell Linux Desktop 9 Administrator's Handbook by Emmett Dulaney. |
