What commands/shortcuts do you use?

tsadmin - terminal services manager
cmd - command prompt
regedit - registry editor

ipconfig

I dont really use many because have VNC, Remote Desktop and Citrix as shortcuts
 
Not much being as I'm on the network side, I guess my most frequently typed command would be

'sh | compare rollback 0'

Prizes for those who know which platform and what it does ;)
 
Could I ask for a brief description (a line) of what each command does?

Some like grep, tail and cat i have no idea on what they do

http://www.mremote.org < much better supports all the main connection types (RDP, VNC, SSH, HTTP etc...) we used it for about a year then bought its replacement visionapp which I have to say isn't much better but has SQL backend database so you can easily share connections.

We use this for all our servers, iLO / Drac, SSH etc... for all our admins now. To have access to everything you need in one place is bloody fantastic not to mention you can integrate outside applications.

sorry cant resist it :)

man grep
man tail
man cat


:)

grep allows you search through a file looking for certain text held within it

tail, show a specific number of lines within a file, or -t to see new lines being written to it in "real time"

cat display the contents of a file

man display a manual of the specified command
