Linux Crash Course - The lsof Command

[@cordovajose5693]

One of the few tech youtuber who understand accessibility. I've seen many tech/programming youtubers showing a 4K screen with text elements that are not discernible or that requires a magnifier software in order to be seen.

I primarily use it in development when I get that a port is already in use. I use it to f Ok and the process using the port. For example if I wanted to know the process using the port 4003, I use "lsof -i :4003"

[@cranil]

I use netstat for that.

[@OcteractSG]

Even regular desktop users need to know about the lsof command. Sometimes you run into a removable storage device that just won’t unmount.

[@LeastTresCharLargo]

Heh. You mightve just solved a mystery of mine.

At 23:45. You say “-c to show ‘by process’ “ …. It would really helpful if you mentioned what the C stands for. Why didn’t they use - P for process. In Linux, I’m always asking the same question - what is the history behind that syntax? Where did this originate from? When questions like that are answered in my brain I can remember things much easier.

[@nasiolcho]

C for command P for pid

It's often overlooked that everything in Linux is a file.

[@kmp3e]

Even the user is a file!!!

I had one situation where the .xsession-errors file was taking up GBs of space on a Debian install. The lsof command was a godsend.

*Looks at your desk and thinks* "Edifiers, Ultrawide.. yep yep" *looks at your majesticly manscaped beard on that handsome face*... *looks at presentation and rest of your video portfolio*.. *nods approvingly and subscribes*... my wife started laughing seeing me do this.. I say "What?! I'm just a sucker for people with brains and good taste" 👍😎👍

[@rehannadeem2231]

amazing to learn from this channel.

[@act.13.41]

Thank you so much Jay. I do appreciate your work.

[@petercdejong]

Even for a seasoned Linux tech I learned some stuff!

[@brijeshkarmakar1299]

Thank you for making this video..

[@Naeidea]

Hey whats the wireless keyboard/trackpad combo you have? Im looking for something just like that but the ones i see are all garbage

[@matthieujoly]

Really useful, thanks.

[@petevenuti7355]

Wasn't akamai around in the isp boom of the 90's, big player , hosting cache servers, firewalls and such products? Last mile buzzword.. over 30 years ago , I barely remember stuff

[@protonjinx]

init gives pid to any new command that runs?!? did I get transported to a different timeline without noticing?

[@petevenuti7355]

If you going to do a video on init systems , can you also on kernel modules?

[@Theborg72]

hi thanks for your great clips but something i miss that i haven't seen is a way to be able to document all the smart commands and tips shown in your videos. saw that in a previous clip you showed how to set up gitlab. why not go ahead and show ex, template gitbook and be able to use it to document everything we get to learn in these courses.

[@G.T828]

make a video on sysvinit please

[@dragonsage6909]

Nice t-shirt.. thx

[@flyinhawaiian9174]

Thank you for these instructional videos. I'm learning how to navigate my Linux system from you. I'm primarily a gamer, but love to tinker, so your videos help me out a lot! Not to be off topic, but do you have a kit for your editing machine? Or do you edit with your recording machine? If so, what video card do you use?

[@peterjansen4826]

With only Firefox open I have 186962 open files. Browsers. 😆

[@0wnz0rz888]

How I remember it is “List Of crap”

[@fsxspen]

Hey that was my last comment on what your next video should be.

[@Gabriel-wo8nj]

In less than 4 minutes we can learn about command. You used more than 25' to do same. You get fired.

[@Laflamablanca969]

No more Akamai! They’ve ruined linode already 😢
