It comes with 115 different languages for the ease of users, and its many features make it flexible and portable. LibreOffice is an open-source suite consisting of several applications with several features like word documentation, spreadsheets, graphical editing, database management, etc. […]

cron: A built-in Linux utility is used for scheduling the process execution on your system, known as “cron” daemon. cron looks for the specified scripts and files in the “crontab” or “cron tables.” The crontab file contains a command list that you wish to run based on a regular schedule. In addition, it has the […]

In Linux-based systems, crontab is a well-known job scheduler. You can always use the cron daemon services if you need to conduct specific time-bound functions. What if your crontab stops operating at times? You may confuse yourself while finding out the reason behind this problem. In such a case, you will also try out all […]

A built-in Linux utility is used for scheduling the process execution on your system, known as “cron” daemon. cron is a task scheduler that runs tasks at scheduled intervals, whereas crontab is an acronym for “cron table.” It enables the usage of the cron job scheduler to conduct tasks or processes. Crontab is also the […]

In Linux and Unix-like systems, we are always amazed to see several ways for a single operation. Whether to install something or to perform through the command-line, you will get multiple utilities and commands. Even if you want to move, copy or rename a directory, it is quite handy to perform these functions with commands; […]

The ‘ln’ command creates the hard and symbolic links between the files. We will talk about how to create the symbolic links between the files in this article. We will also discuss some useful examples to understand the basic working of the ln command. All examples have been implemented on the Ubuntu 20.04 distribution. The […]

rsync is a command-line tool used for the synchronization of directories and files between two systems. It supports syncing files, directories, devices, file and directory owners, groups, and permissions. The remote-update protocol that transfers the change between directories or file content distinguishes rsync from other file synchronization commands in Linux. I recently needed to utilize […]

Rsync or remote synchronization is a Linux and Unix-based utility that syncs files and directories efficiently between two devices or hosts. In this synchronization process, one is the local host or the source from which we will sync the files, and the other is the remote host, where all the synchronization will occur. Rsync can […]

Rsync stands for “Remote Sync.” It is a synchronization method for directories and files that works both locally and remotely. This tool employs the “delta algorithm” that reduces the amount of copied data by only transferring the modified part of the files or directories. In this post, we will go through the basics of using […]

For Linux based system, rsync is a file synchronization tool. This tool is based on the “delta algorithm” that makes the remotes file syncing faster. It deploys this algorithm by transmitting only the differences or modifications in the files across the network. For syncing files, rsync does not require the set of files that exist […]
