[NBLUG/talk] Finding files containing a string

[Nat W]

http://people.debian.org/~debacle/refcard/refcard-en-a4.pdf

this seems to cover the basics. What I don when I need
to remember something
is write it down :).  Maybe make a text file with your
commands that you
need to remember.

Scott -

After looking up each of the individual commands in
"Linux in a 
Nutshell", the command line makes sense.  However, I
get into my Linux 
server every few weeks or so which makes remembering
the commands a 
challenge.  Has anyone ever published a "Quick
Reference"?

O'Reilly's "Linux in a Nutshell" is great if one knows
the command to 
begin with.  It would be great to have one of those
Quick Reference 
cards like the one for "vi"; the 100 most used
commands in Linux!

Example:

ps -A | grep <process name>

kill -9 <process ID>

Just an idea!
