 | View Full Version : SSH Command. babak 05-07-2002, 06:56 PM Hi Which command do I need to type in SSh to see how big a file is? And how can I see how big is Mysql of my clients? TNX Regard, babak ffeingol 05-07-2002, 07:03 PM These are not "ssh" commands. The are *nix and mysql commands. to get the details of a file it's, ls -l filename If you have mysqladmin installed on the server, you can get a lot of details about the table/db size from it. Frank babak 05-07-2002, 07:20 PM :D TNX :D I get the folowing output: 2024 and the date and etc... Is 2024 Byte or KB? Regard, babak :rolleyes: ffeingol 05-07-2002, 08:02 PM bytes. Try "man ls" ;) Man is your friend. Man-ual pages. Frank mindyloo 05-07-2002, 08:52 PM And big refernce books are very helpful too. I definately recommend something like "Unix Unleashed" which is online at http://pluto.phys.nwu.edu/~zhaoyj/learn/Unix-system/toc.htm Work through the Unix tutorial so you know how to get around on the system. GUI's can be a helpful tool, but you'll be a far better sys admin with some command line knowledge under your belt. Unix knowledge rocks. But without command line knowledge, you may as well just stick to windoze. :o babak 05-07-2002, 09:07 PM tnx people, good tip :D kunal 05-08-2002, 06:54 AM Hey, I would use the 'ls -lh' command so that it shows the listing in the kilobites format ;) kunal |
