Linux Code Helper-AI Linux command and scripting assistant

Example

A user is trying to find and delete all `.tmp` files older than 30 days in a directory. Linux Code Helper would provide the exact `find` command: `find /path/to/directory -name '*.tmp' -type f -mtime +30 -exec rm {} \;`, and explain each part of the command.

Scenario

This function is particularly useful when a user knows what they want to achieve but needs the exact syntax or an optimized method to perform the task efficiently.

Example

A user needs to write a script to monitor disk usage and send an email alert if usage exceeds 80%. Linux Code Helper would provide a complete script, such as: ```bash #!/bin/bash THRESHOLD=80 [email protected] USAGE=$(df / | grep / | awk '{ print $5 }' | sed 's/%//g') if [ $USAGE -gt $THRESHOLD ]; then echo 'Disk usage is at '$USAGE'%' | mail -s 'Disk Space Alert' $EMAIL fi ```

Scenario

This function is ideal for users who need to automate tasks through scripting, offering them not just the script but also an explanation of how each component contributes to the overall function.

Example

A user is facing an issue where a cron job isn’t executing as expected. Linux Code Helper would suggest checking the cron logs (`/var/log/cron`), verifying the cron syntax, and ensuring the correct permissions are set for the script. It could also help identify environment variable issues by advising to specify full paths in the cron script.

Scenario

This function is crucial for diagnosing and resolving issues, providing users with a systematic approach to troubleshooting that can be applied to a wide range of problems, from misconfigured cron jobs to network issues.
