Are they asking if you know bash commands? Or yum installs? Or how to retrieve logs? I’ve used RHEL before so I am familiar with bash, profiles and logs. But honestly to write a bash command that isn’t something simple off the top of my head like awk, sed or some other not often used command I’ll probably fail. So what Linux are software engineers supposed to know?
Probably just simple stuff like check processes running, move and navigate file system, install packages, some basic networking
What do you mean by basic networking that would be different on Linux than windows? Like networking concepts? Or like how the Linux OS handles networking?
Like curling an http request, checking which ports are open, or troubleshooting some dns issues would be some examples that I use
Yea, no software engineer remembers all the parameters for awk/sed. Just find those things on google/stackoverflow or god forbid the man pages.
Awk, sed.
You will find out in the interview :)
Ls cd 😜
If you are asking the question, you don’t have what it is referring to.
sudo rm -rf ~/
But, can you grep?
ls cd find grep sed vi
sudo
My favorite: sudo !!
