If you want to move to the last directory you were in, type >cd -.

 

Syntax             cd [directory]

 

Option or argument	Function

Sample:

You log in and do some work in your home directory. Next you want to move into your budget directory to see which files are there. Type cd budget.

 

Type cd .. to move back up to the parent directory of budget. Sometime you might want to go up to more than one level of the parent directory, type “cd ../..”, you can go back up two levels of parent directory.

 

Type cd to move back default path (check default path via echo $HOME).

 

1.7         chgrp

chgrp [parameter] Group {File | Directory}

 

1.8         chmod

 

Changes the permissions for a file/directory. You have to own the file or directory to use this command.

 

If you leave the who letter out of the permission, chmod assigns the permission to everyone.

 

Refer to any detail, see Section 2.3.2 of this document.

Syntax             chmod [-Rcfv] [-recursive] [-changes] [-silent] [-quiet] [verbose]

 

permission - drwxrwxrwx

d       - directory

x       - can use the file name as an argument in a command

first rwx    - for owner

second rwx      - for group

third rwx   - for other (except the group)

 

r = 4, w = 2, x = 1.

e.g.

chmod 744 /hsbc/bcn/load/cmb_ocpr_pl_mh_conv1.id   = -rwxr--r—

 

ls -l | awk '{if($1=="-rw-r-----") print $9}' | xargs chmod 644

1.11     cmp

1.12     cp

 

Copies files/directory. Unlike in DOS, if you want to copy a file to current directory, you have to use a period (.) at the end of the command like, such as “cp file101”.

 

Syntax             cp [-i] oldfiles newfiles

         cp [-i] [-R] oldfiles directory[/newfiles]

 

Option or argument	Function
-i	Asks before you replace an existing file with a copied file.
-r	Copies file hierarchies under the file or directory specified by the SourceFile or SourceDirectory parameter (recursive copy).
-R	When you copy a directory, also copies its subdirectories and creates new subdirectories as necessary.
-f	Specifies removal of the target file if it cannot be opened for write operations.
-h	Forces the cp command to copy symbolic links.

oldfiles	Specifies the name of the file you want to copy.
newfiles	Specifies the name to give to the new copy.
directory	Specifies the name of the directory in which you want to store a copy.

 

Sample:

 

Type cp /home/harold/margys.feb.expenses february.expenses

 

By including both a path and a filename to copy to, you tell cp to copy the file from the /home/harold/ directory and to name the new copy february.expenses.

 

cp -Rph /hsbc/bsg/databak/. /hsbc/bsg/data
