Here, we’ll look at some methods for serializing commands using Bash in Linux. Even if they're already running. Inline Command Chaining Bash has great flexibility and powerful features for the end−users. We can create long sequences of instructions to perform any number of tasks. ... Chained operations ...

Maintaining the value of a particular item at every instance of time is a very crucial process if the prices of the item change very frequently. If we want to note the value of an item in particular intervals, then we need to create a list that contains the time with hours/minutes/seconds increment. For example, such a list is quite useful in case of stock prices because they change rapidly. Although we can’t note every value, we can note the value for all particular intervals, like for every 15 minutes, to analyse its change of price. How to Add Time ... Read More

You can create aliases using the alias command. In this guide, I will show you how to create an alias that accepts parameters on Linux. This is useful if you want to run a single command repeatedly without having ... Read More
