The core GNU utilities

The core GNU utilities.

The GNU project was mainly designed for Unix system administrators to have a Unix-like environment available. This focus resulted in the project porting many common Unix system command line utilities. The core bundle of utilities supplied for Linux systems is called the coreutils package.

The GNU coreutils package consists of three parts:

Utilities for handling files
Utilities for manipulating text
Utilities for managing processes

$ apt-cache search coreutils
bsdmainutils - collection of more utilities from FreeBSD
coreutils - The GNU core utilities

These three main groups of utilities each contain several utility programs that are invaluable to the Linux system administrator and programmer.

Plesk Command Line Utilities

Command line utilities for Plesk for Linux/Unix are located in the /usr/local/psa/bin directory on the Plesk server.

To run command line utilities:

Log in to the Plesk server via SSH.

Use one of the following options to run a utility:

To run a utility from any directory, use the following command line format:

# /usr/local/psa/bin/[utility name] [parameters] [options]

To run a utility when the /usr/local/psa/bin/ is your current directory, use the following format:

# ./[utility name] [parameters] [options]

Upon successful execution, utilities return the 0 code. If an error occurs, utilities return code 1 and display the description of the encountered problem on stderr.
