Edit the command-line like an expert
The way you interface with a computer is changing constantly. Operating systems that once started as a command line-only interface have moved to a graphical front end. Sometimes, however, moving away from the building blocks that made the operating system isn't necessarily a step in the right direction. More often than not, moving toward a graphical user interface (GUI) means losing functionality; in addition, users become less inclined to learn more of the computer they’re working with. Thankfully the AIX operating system—like other UNIX® and Linux® systems—has kept to what's important: the stability, functionality, and robustness of a computer's operating system.
The various UNIX and Linux vendors have kept a strong grasp of the importance behind the CLI of an operating system. But for reasons of automation, making computing easier for users, or something else, users have either forgotten or never learned the ins and outs of the CLI. This article sheds some light on the CLI for those users who haven't touched it much or for those who may need a little nudge to remember why it's so important to administration, development, and general UNIX computing.
