  I've learned many best practices as a SysAdmin over the years having had the good fortune to work with big systems and big networks. Automation largely replaces individual commands at the CLI these days, but I offer these especially for SysAdmins or for non-automated efforts. Some were developed through my own missteps, others through various RCA's and hot washes when our best efforts were not "received well" by systems and networks. I learned very early to be careful at the command line, especially on production systems. It's so easy to paste something at the command line that was an addition to the weekly report instead of one or more commands to the Linux or other machine. To guard against this, I used two techniques, the first of which was pasting the proposed commands into a text editor (If on a PC, Notepad++ or others work well, or Vi or emacs on a *nix machine,) as an extra check. The second is typing a hash at the beginning of the command line on systems that recognized this as a comment character. E.g.: user@host # rm tempfile After pasting the command line after the #, press Ctrl-C to cancel, and then paste the command line at the prompt, now that the contents of the clipboard are known, and press RETURN. All for now, thanks for reading! Independent Contractor
