14) cd /home/<directory_name>
takes you to /home/<directory_name> directory
likewise you can give and directory
Note: remember to give from the beginning like '/' is very important. Its called the root

to know what ls command will do give "man ls", it displays man page.

35) nohup <command_name> &
nohup is very useful command. it runs the command even the telnet connection is
closed/broken.
& is used for running command in background.
36) crontab -l
shows the cron jobs running/scheduled for the current user.
you can copy/redirect the jobs to a ascii file and edit/add jobs and resubmit to cron as
