This is common stuff that I always forget at the wrong moment, so I print this and put it on my wall at work.
shell :
To see what shell you are using (being in just “sh†explains a lot):
echo $SHELL
Make vi your command line editory:
set -o vi
Or, if you are still in sh, to switch to ksh and set vi as the command line editor:
ksh -o vi
crontab:
minutes(0-59) hours(0-23) dates(1-31) months(1-12) days(0-6)
* * * * * command
Set your backspace key to work:
stty erase BACKSPACE
(It may be you just need to switch how Putty is set up)
Set CTRL-Z to suspend job:
stty susp ^Z
Set other Terminal parameters:
stty rows 80
stty cols 25
export DISPLAY=vt100

Simple awk lines I always use but never remember:
awk ‘{ print $3 }’ = cuts column 3
awk ‘/dev/{print $2}’ = print /dev/ with column 2
c=’$'$n;awk “{print $c}†= print column $n

Troubleshooting:
The following is another tool to troubleshoot amity connections — helps find out if the cable is plugged into the wrong port:
The most likely case is that the amity cable is plugged into the wrong serial port or wrong server (expansion port). We can look at the line settings:
Usage: get.line [ sysname | tty# | els# port# ]
c1amity: get.line pldi026
**** c1amity tty035814 ****
Settings: 9600,8,None,1
I/O: CD=1 DSR=0 CTS=1 RTS=1 DTR=1
host: 132.201.84.170
An amity connection that is plugged into the wrong port may look like this:
I/O: CD=0 DSR=0 CTS=0 RTS=1 DTR=1
This is the serial equivalent of looking for a “link up†light on network connections.
