Linux Command Line Essentials
Two hands-on days on a real server with no graphical interface — navigating processes permissions logs networking and shell scripting, ending in a diagnosis of a live incident on a machine you have never seen before. You leave with the scripts and the runbook you wrote.

- Duration
- 2 days · 16 hours
- Each day
- 09:00 – 17:00
- Mode
- Offline / Online
Designed for
- Developers who deploy to Linux and navigate it by copying commands
- Engineers moving into DevOps cloud or SRE work
- QA and support engineers who need to read logs on a server
- Students preparing for roles where a terminal is the working environment
- Anyone who has ever been handed SSH access and felt lost
What to bring
- A laptop able to run a Linux virtual machine or container
- No prior Linux experience required
- Comfortable typing accurately — everything is done by hand
What you walk away with
A set of shell scripts you wrote yourself for log triage disk and service checks, a hardened SSH configuration, and a one-page incident runbook you produced by diagnosing a genuinely broken server without help.
Outcomes
What you will be able to do
- 01Navigate a filesystem you have never seen and find any file by name content or age
- 02Read and set permissions and ownership and explain why a process was denied access
- 03Inspect processes and signals and stop something safely rather than with kill dash nine
- 04Chain small tools with pipes to answer a question about a running system
View all 10 outcomes
- Extract meaning from a large log file with grep and awk and sed
- Manage services with systemd and read journal logs to find why one failed
- Diagnose a full disk a stuck mount high load and a port already in use
- Investigate connectivity with ss and curl and dig and identify where a request stops
- Write a shell script with arguments error handling and a safe exit
- Work through an unfamiliar incident methodically and write the runbook afterwards

The shell and the filesystem
- what a shell actually does
- the filesystem hierarchy and what lives where
- absolute and relative paths
- ls with the flags that matter
- file compared with directory compared with symlink
- tab completion and history
- man pages and help
- the difference between a command a builtin and an alias
What you will build
A working tour of an unfamiliar server — you locate its configuration its logs and its application without being told where they are.
