That is because it is not only possible, but required and encouraged for you to add to the system what you need or desire to run. There are a few basic thing that exist for everyone. First, you should probably know ls(1) and man(1). ls lists files. man is a utility to display or print the manual page (usually shortened to just 'man' page) for something. Note that the number in parens (1) or (8) or whatever, you will often see refers to the manual section. Most often the one you want is the one that comes up by default, but there are some things with information in more than one man section. Then there are the shell built-in commands. See 'man builtin' It lists the built in shell commands for the two main shell families that are used in the system. sh includes sh and bash. csh includes csh and tcsh. There are others, but less often used. In FreeBSD the default shell is tcsh for a login and mose system scripts use sh. Finally, list the contents of directories /bin /sbin /usr/bin, /usr/sbin and /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/sbin. Those files are almost all utilities that can be executed directly as a command. Check the man page for any that you want to learn about - type 'man yes' (without the quote marks) to see the brief man page for the yes utility, for example. Man pages have a formal/stylized structure and wording. Sometimes that can seem a little dense and you will want to look for additional information in a book or in a search engine on the web. You should also check out the 'man hier' man page as it describes the way FreeBSD file systems and directories are layed out. ////jerry > > thankz . > > ZAW HTET AUNG > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
