What was the last command you entered into Terminal?

exit

exit

I had to smile when I saw this.

For me it's htop as I've been having a few problems watching YouTube videos for which video has paused but sound has continued.

q

I have an alias of q='exit' simply for speed, so I suppose it was really exit, though I typed q only.

Another alias user here ...

:~ $ policy nano

"policy" is my alias for the command "apt-cache policy". Just had to check the version of nano I was using after seeing oldos2er's nano thread in "Ubuntu, Linux and OS Chat"

$ sudo dpkg --configure a

I was having some issues with the updater, and it said to run that command. Sure enough, it worked.

Switching workspaces from the command line on Lxde on a raspberry pi.
I needed to find a command to navigate left and right, using only the mouse, after setting 4 workspaces.

This one, currently the last command in the terminal, is for moving to the left ...

~ $ xdotool set_desktop $(expr $(xdotool get_desktop) - 1)

... a "+ 1" at the end, instead of "- 1", will move the woarkspace to the right.
This command put into an easystroke gesture entry makes for very easy workspace switching using the mouse only.

sudo smem --processfilter="firefox"

Needed a way to format memory reports via the terminal.
Smem seems to be a great little tool.

sudo smem --userfilter="root" --pie name -s rss

this will produce a pie chart showing processes and their memory consumption based on PSS or RSS values.

sudo cpupower frequency-set -d 2560000 -u 2560000

Tried to keep my CPU clock to 2.56 GHz.

mv great.png great.jpg

Fun fact, unlike most of the image tools I use, the forum will not accept attachments with the wrong extension.

I have an alias of q='exit' simply for speed, so I suppose it was really exit, though I typed q only.

I use ctrl-d for that.

As a bonus, if I'm running alex or the python repl, ctrl-d (still holding ctrl) d exits both.
