Learned about more commands : head, tail, paste, join, diff, patch, comm… We learned to filter data with the commands.
Head - outputs the first part of the file
- last | grep cgaines | head -3
Tail - output the last part of the files
- last | grep cgaines | tail -3

cron/crontab/at
Definition
Is the time-based job scheduler in Unix-like computer operating systems.
Enables users to schedule jobs (commands or shell scripts) to run periodically
at certain times or dates.
It is commonly used to automate system maintenance or administration.
__Crontab_ (cron table) file, a configuration file that specifies shell
commands to run periodically on a given schedule.

talk/ytalk Phase 2
Let's talk.
Definition
talk is a program that provides visual communication between two parties via text through the terminal. ( talk person ) Using this command alone will prompt the second party with the following message:
- Message from TalkDaemon@his_machine…
- talk: connection requested by your_name@your_machine.
- talk: respond with: talk your_name@your_machine
At this point, the terminal will be now a chat window between the two parties. Both parties can type at the same time since their text appears in different parts of the window. To exit the window, use CTRL + C
ytalk is a program that provides visual communication between multiple parties via text through the terminal. It's basically the same program as talk, only it allows for multiple connections. ( ytalk [-s] [-Y] [-E] [-i] [-q] [-v] [-h hostname_or_ip] username… )
The username portion can be formatted in the following ways:
- name - some user on your machine
- name@host - some user on a different machine
- name#tty - some user on a particular terminal
- name#tty@host - some user on a particular tty on a different machine
- name@host#tty - same as “name#tty@host”
- aliasname - an alias defined in your .ytalkrc
You can also specify multiple usernames on the command line with ytalk ( ytalk george fred@hissun.edu marc@grumpy.cc )
Say hello to the options:
- -s option starts your YTalk window in a shell.
- -Y option requires a capital Y or N as an answer to any yes/no question.
- -E option requires you to press escape once before answering a yes/no question (for people who type looking at the keyboard).
- -i option disables the auto-invite port (meaning you won't see “talk to blah@blah.com”, but your talk daemon will beep you instead).
- -q option causes YTalk to prompt you before quitting.
- -v option prints the program version and exits.
- -h option specifies the name or address of the local machine; this is useful on multi-homed machines, or virtual hosts, to specify which network interface to use for communication.
More to be added with more awesome details to come.

Experiment 3
Question
Will changing a relevant command in VI by a character completely change the outcome?
Resources
I just used techniques used in class to perform this experiment and then started manipulating the commands with no prior knowlegde of what the outcome would be.
Hypothesis
My Hypothesis is that by changing one character in the command will change the information
Experiment
I am going to type up some lines in VI and then I am going to input the command.
Using the command :%s/b/BB/g- this took all of the b's in the entire document and changed them to a BB.
Data
My name is BoBB and we had a BBaBBy its a BBoy, and charlie the unicorn and very funny. Billy BBoBB, is a hillBBilly, and a BBig one at that. Watching Hogan's Heroes and Hogan always seems to get the girls. BoBB we had a BBaB By its a very BBig BBoy.
Analysis
Based on the data collected:
Yes my hypothesis is correct, it shows that just changing one character out of the original command will change the result.
Conclusion
By doing this command I found out the many possibilities could happen when manupulating commands in VI.
