Linux Commands

[ridemonkey]

Why is there no Linux forum at Techimo? (or am I blind?)

Anyway.......

I'm a newbie. Once I am logged in how do I switch users (command line)?

Thanks!

If you're looking to logout simply type just that

logout

This will enable oyu to log back in as a new user.

Also Linux is thrown into the "Apps and OS" Forum

you can also type at the command line:

su -l username

where username is the name of the user you want to switch to

One quick note on the su -l username.

This doesn't actually "switch" your user.

Just kinda runs as a clone on top of your other user with the new users rights. In essence two people logged in.

I am not sure why there isn't a seperate forum for Linux ,Windows, BSD ........ and several other OS's ............ but they probably have there reasons.

btw..... welcome to techimo

Or you could just switch terminals by holding down Ctrl+Alt and pressing F1, F2, F3, etc.

We're here, ridermonkey, have no fear. Just post away, and if we see Linux in the thread subject, we get more interested!
