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 […]

The pushd and popd commands allow you to work with directory stacks in Linux and Unix-like operating systems. They are used to add and remove directories from your directory stack. The “d” in pushd and popd stands for the directory. The concept of stacks is straightforward. The directory stack is a Last In, First Out(LIFO) […]

Although there are multiple ways to create a connection between two platforms, such as operating systems, it seems difficult to transfer files from Linux distributions to Windows and vice versa. It is pretty simple and straightforward if you know exactly how to do it. Are you a beginner and worried? No need! Just follow the […]

Java is the world’s popular software development platform that James Gosling develops. It is designed to support multiple platforms like Linux, macOS and Windows. Mobile and Desktop applications can also be developed using Java language. Java language is one of the most popular high-level object-oriented programming languages. It comes with a simple syntax and easily […]
