Netscape (4.x) are known to be big and buggy. They occasionally crash by vanishing (no other
harm done). Also, when not connected to the network , Netscape likes to refuse to do anything
(looks like it hanged)-it revives when you connect.
netscape -display host:0.0
(in X terminal) Run netscape on the current machine and direct the output to machine named
"host" display 0 screen 0. Your current machine must have a permission to display on the
machine "host" (typically given by executing the command xhost current_machine_name in
the xterminal of the machine host. Other X-windows program can be run remotely the same way.
lynx file.html
View an html file or browse the net from the text mode.
pine
A good text-mode mail reader. Another good and standard one is elm. Your Netscape mail will
read the mail from your Internet account. pine will let you read the "local" mail, e.g. the mail
your son or a cron process sends to you from a computer on your home network. The command
mail could also be used for reading/composing mail, but it would be inconvenient--it is meant to
be used in scripts for automation.
elm
A good tex-mode mail reader. See the previous command.
mutt
A really basic but extremally useful and fast mail reader.
mail
A basic operating system tool for e-mail. Look at the previous commands for a better e-mail
reader. mail is good if you wanted to send an e-mail from a shell script.
licq
(in X term) An icq "instant messaging" client. Another good one is kxicq. Older distributions
don't have an icq client installed, you have to do download one and install it.
talk username1
Talk to another user currently logged on your machine (or use "talk username1@machinename"
to talk to a user on a different computer) . To accept the invitation to the conversation, type the
command "talk username2". If somebody is trying to talk to you and it disrupts your work,
your may use the command "mesg n" to refuse accepting messages. You may want to use "who"
or "
rwho" to determine the users who are currently logged-in.
mc
Launch the "Midnight Commander" file manager (looks like "Norton Commander" for Linux).
telnet server
Connect to another machine using the TELNET protocol. Use a remote machine name or IP
address. You will be prompted for your login name and password--you must have an account on
the remote machine to login. Telnet will connect you to another machine and let you operate on
it as if you were sitting at its keyboard (almost). Telnet is not very secure--everything you type
goes in open text, even your password!
rlogin server
(=remote login) Connect to another machine. The login name/password from your current
session is used; if it fails you are prompted for a password.
rsh server
(=remote shell) Yet another way to connect to a remote machine. The login name/password from
your current session is used; if it fails you are prompted for a password.
ftp server
Ftp another machine. (There is also ncftp which adds extra features and gftp for GUI .) Ftp is
good for copying files to/from a remote machine. Try user "anonymous" if you don't have an
account on the remote server. After connection, use "?" to see the list of available ftp
