Basic Ubuntu Linux Commands for VPSVille

ls -l
the above command list the directory with added information

date
the above command shows the date

cat filename
list the contents of user supply filename

cat filename | more
list the file contents 1 screen at a time, press space to move to the next screen

rm filename
delete the file

ps ax
shows running process

top
like taskmanager on windows, type quit to quit

Python read file splitlines alternatives

Due to the low memory conditions of a VPS, I found this better.

#create an array
file1TextArray=[]

file1 = open('/root/file1new.txt', 'r')
for line in file1:
        file1TextArray.append(line[:-2])
file1.close()

Tested on Python3
Note this deletes the last two characters because the text file had \r\n as the new line delimeter
