commands

Here's a copy of a Glassfish cheat sheet (reference page) that I always keep near me whenever I'm working with a Glassfish server. I like a lot of things about Glassfish, but trying to remember all of these commands for the Glassfish CLI is not one of my favorite things.

Here's my Glassfish command reference:

Okay, this is one small step for me, and not really any steps for mankind ... I never know how to get help on Windows/DOS commands. I try command line options/switches like -h, -help, --help, /help, and \help, and of course none of them works.

taskkill /?

Duh.

If you haven't heard about it already, the new Google Chrome browser includes a number of hidden/undocumented commands that can be entered in the browser's address bar. One of them seems to be an easter egg, the others provide information about the browser itself.

The command names seem self-explanatory, so here they are, give 'em a rip, see what they show about your Chrome browser:

Mac OS X Finder keyboard shortcuts (keystrokes)

Wow, once I learned a few Mac OS X Finder keyboard shortcuts, I like the Finder much more. It was freaking me out that the [Enter] key doesn't actually open a file or directory, it just lets you change the name.

I created a "cheat sheet" of commands (including examples) for Unix, Linux, and Mac OS X users. You can download the PDF for free from my Unix education page.
