CLI commando overview

[Roman78]

I'm pritty new to the Amiga OS, now i want to learn some more about cli command's (in linux/unix/BSD is the console the powerfullets tool). But where can i find a command list overview or a manual. Got some books here but there is not much about the CLI.

And how to i change the disks/volumes? Changing directories is  almost the same than in linux. I.e. i have a CF card, how can i brouws on it whit the CLI?

you need to type the device name followed by a colon, examples:

df0:
cd0:directory1/directory2

some other commands:
cd / (move to parent directory)
makedir
rename
delete
list > dir.txt
(redirects the output to a file instead of the screen)
copy df1:rubbish.readme ""
(the empty quotes mean the current directory is the destination)

Ok tnx. Thats a start. I alwys tried "cd .."  :lol:

The AmigaDOS manual has a complete listing of commands and their arguments. You can get one from dealers, eBay, or the OS3.5 or 3.9 CDs (PDF or HTML version).

Just do a dir c:. This will list all the available commands. If you type a command followed by a ?, you will get the syntax of the command.

 There is a man command somewhere in the Aminet which allows you to type "man command" and get some online help about this command and its arguments.

You should have a look on www.aminet.net for some stuff that makes your amiga work a bit more like unix.

Try adosbegin.lha (Amigados for beginners) a comprehensive guide and index of amigados commands with examples. This is a great guide.

Get KingCon immidiately. It can replace the standard shell window with a much better one. It adds a scrollbar to the command window and does linux-like auto complete with the tab key. Essential.

Also try UnixDirs3. It's a simple patch to enable unix-like directory commands in the shell like "cd .." very useful. Also you can use * as a wildcard (the amiga standard is #? or something I forget)

Also try pipe-1.5 which adds proper unix-like self flushing pipe functionality.

Another is ls-4.7LJR, a very good ls command. There are also some ports of grep available.

Lastly, Executive is a unix-like task manager and scheduler that gives you a proper process list and kill command amongst other things, and runs multitasking more smoothly. This really works, you should try it.
