Lab 4 Unix Commands

Unix commands:
1. One command that I learned and thought was really cool about the Unix commands was “finger.” When you type in finger and then a user name it brings up information about that person.
2. Another command that I find interesting is “cal.” If you type cal 2006 it brings up a calendar of the whole year. It is simple and convenient. On windows you have to click on the time in the corner to have it bring up the calendar.
3. The command “cd” allows you to move from one directory to another. . On windows, all you have to do is open a new application, but in Unix, you have to type “cd” and then the name of the directory. In dos, cd is the same as dir.
4. The “whoami” command lets you know who is logged in on the computer that you are on. In windows you can just click on start and it tells you who is logged on to the computer at that time.
