To accomplish this task set up cron to run a script that will check the disk space daily at 7:00 p.m. The output will be e-mailed to the root account. You can compare the results from day to day to analyze disk space usage.
Your cron file should look similar to the following:
* 19 * * * df -kl.
Linux provides text base installation as the alternative method of GUI installation.
You can use killall httpd command to kill all httpd process. httpd process run web server.

#Ifconfig eth0 up
The [esc] key is used to exit from the edit mode of VI editor.
You could use mkfs command to format partition with file system.
The Linux swap file is used for virtual memory to store additional information that cannot fit into current memory. This swap file allows information to be cached on disk, and can be retrieved very quickly. Heavy use of the swap file indicates a low memory condition.
Kernel panic error can cause a Linux system to crash. A kernel panic indicates that a kernel process has crashed. This is a very serious error that causes the entire Linux system to crash. These core dumps should be analyzed carefully to find the root cause of the problem.
PPP is most often used to create serial point-to-point connections.
In fdisk utility, the "p" command will print the partition table.
The most common command used to install an RPM package is rpm -ivh. Following command will install the given package
#rpm -ivh demo filename 2.2-2.i386.rpm
If administrators have no intention of keeping these files for debugging purposes, they should be deleted because they are wasting valuable disk space, and may cause system to run out of space.
You can use bg command to send a running process to the background.
Swap on command is used to activate a already created swap partition. It cannot be used to create a new swap partition.
The init process is the first process to be run. It is the parent process of all other Linux system processes, services, and daemons that are needed to run the system.

Use cp command to create the backup.
#cp /etc/fstab /backup
The process should be immediately killed before it consumes so many resources that the server cannot run properly and therefore crash.
Your first step is to identify the process, use ps command
#ps -au sanjay
Now run top command to compare the process running, and verify which one is using the most resources. After you have identified the problem process, you can use the kill command to terminate it. Because the user was unable to stop the process, you should probably force a kill signal to make sure that the process stops:
#kills -9 [PID of process]
Now, to verify that it has stopped, run the ps command again on the user:
ps -au sanjay
