11. 13 Basic Cat Command Examples in LinuxIn Linux/Unix, we can run and schedule many tasks automatically using the cron command. You can execute both commands once or at a regular interval. 'Cron' is widely used for scheduling repetitive jobs at regular intervals (run using commands listed in a table called 'crontab') and the 'at' procedure is used to schedule a job once in a specific time period. Crontab maintains individual crontab files for all users. These automated jobs will be hugely beneficial to many administrators who work with Linux servers.

17. 10 useful cd commands with examplesThe screen is a full-screen software program that can be used to multiplexes a physical console between several processes (typically interactive shells). It offers a user to open several separate terminal instances inside a single terminal window manager.
Well, that's it, for now, as I might keep adding more to the list. Hope you find the links above helpful as a source to learn and benefit from.The "cd" (change directory) command in Linux/Unix is pretty simple.
