I was curious if I would be able to view cookies from a command prompt when ssh'd into a machine. On a test machine running fedora 13, I found that the cookies were stored in a cookies.sqlite. I made sure that all instances of Firefox was closed and attempted to view the file running the following command
sqlite3 cookies.sqlite
It loaded but I was unable to run view any of the information because the database was locked? There were no instances of Firefox running and I check to make sure there were no services of Firefox running as well. Am I doing something wrong? Is this not the correct way to view cookies from the command line ? I have tried google searches and has since been unable to come up with anything.
When using the pr command for formatting simple text files for printing, page numbers are included in the header by default. I figured out how to remove the date from the header (pr -D ""), and how to remove the title (pr -h ""), but for the life of me I can't figure out how to remove page numbering from the header. Anybody know how/if this can be accomplished?
I was running scripts overnight from the command line (inside Screen on a Linux EC2 instance) and some errors that I was not tracking occurred. I want to "scroll up" or view more of the history in Screen, but I cannot seem to find any commands that will work. I need to see the onscreen output "further up" than I can on my current screen. CTRL + a is supposed to put me into scroll mode inside Screen, but it's not working.
Can anybody show me how to view command history of another user? I am an admin on my machine. I can see normal history by viewing /home/user_name/.bash_history but i can't see commands of that "user_name" when they were doing sudo. Is there a way to view all command executed by one user?
I'm trying to get the source code of a web page from linux command line and save it to a file. I googled for it but didn't get any info. I'm not sure if wget can do this.

My server is currently copying a large amount of date. I periodically check how much has already been copied by using the "ls" command in the destination folder. Is there a way so that ls kind of self updates itself? Like in a log or so? Or like when using cp -v?
I am learning about group and user management with Fedora and can change the user's group using the usermod command but did not know if there was a command to see the group currently associated with the user.
I've been using Emacs with the AUCTeX package to edit and compile my .tex documents lately, but there's something that's been bugging me. First, here is the short question:How can I costumize the default view command emacs runs when I type C^c C^c <enter>?I've read that it's done with the tex-view-dvi-command variable, but I've had no luck getting it to work at all.Now the explanation:It bugs me that whenever I type C^c C^c to compile, and then C^c C^c to view dvi, emacs doesn't automatically give focus to the dvi viewer (xdvi). Digging a little, I found out that the command "wmctrl -a main" gives focus to xdvi ("main" is the title of the xdvi window). So, if I can only customize AUCTeX's standard view command to include "&& wmctrl -a main" at the end, than my problem would be solved
So I opened a terminal and fired up netcat.I only wanted to view the Foreign Ip Addresses so I used
Code: netstat --tcp --numeric | cut -c 45-65 and that gave me[code]...
There are two things that I am trying to accomplish here. The first is that I would like to "cut" the first three horizontal lines so that the output is only ip addresses.I tried tail but the number of different IPs changes so it still gives me those top lines. I tried head but that doesn't seem to give me any output at all.The second thing I would like to do is to filter out duplicate values. For example the output above has 2 duplicate entries of 66.102.7.101:80
I am searching a GUI based "tree view utility" which shows me which directories consume how much hard disc space (cumulative, including recursively the sub directories; including hidden files). Is there such a tool fur Ubuntu/Linux and how do I install it? Is there at least a cmdline command which does the same job in terminal window?
I use vncviewer command line to remote access my pc from my notebook. Is there any option to resize the view like windows client can by percentage? my notebook screen size is 1280x800, while I use bigger resolution for my pc 1280x1024 if not mistaken. already look here: http://linux.die.net/man/1/vncviewer but I don't see any option to do that.
When I open a terminal and start the 'top' command to view the running processes, in the summary view I get 4 users. I guess that in addition to my account the root runs in the background but who are the other 2??
