Up one level to the Termainl Help parent page
Here is a list of commands available at the bash command prompt within Tivo:
Default commands:
echo * : Directory listing. Similar to DIR command in DOS.
cd .. : Up one directory level (notice the space between cd and ...
cd directory_name: changes the current working directory to the one specified. Moves one level deeper in the directory structure.
cd directory1/directory2: changes the current working directory. Moves 2 level deeper in the directory structure. Notice the forward shash, not back slash.
mkdir directory_name: makes a new directory and assigns the name specified
cp file_name_1 file_name_2: makes a copy of file_name_1, name of new copy is file_name_2
cp file_name /directory1/filename: copies a file to a different directory, using the same filename.
rm file_name This command removes (deletes) the file specified.
rm -r directory_name This is the command to delete a directory. The -r adss the recursive agrument to the remove command, causing the directory to be deleted.
chmod 755 : changes the permissions of all files in the current directory. Can also be used as chmod 755 file.name to change the permissions of only one file. The 755 contains 3 numbers with each number representing a specific user group (three groups total). The magnitude of each of the numbers represents the permissions available to each of the groups. Here are some examples:
- Permissions (1=read, 2=write, 3=execute)
- 0=no access
- 1=read only
- 2=write only
- 4=execute only
- 1+2=3=read and write
- 1+4=5=read and execute
- 2+6=6=write and execute
- 1+2+4=7=read and write and execute
- Groups:
- first number=owner, second number=group, third number=world
- "755"=owner(read, write, execute), group(read, execute), world(read, execute)
- "511"=owner(read, execute), group(read), world(read)
- etc.
