🔹 ARTH — Task 1.5🔹

Task Description 📄

📌 Find out different Fun commands like sl, cowsay etc. in Linux from the Internet. Next, create one blog/document & there show all those commands with various options. P

Normally, when we listen about Linux and the terminal first thought that comes to our mind is that it is something related to coding.

How about a train goes by the terminal?!🚂

To run this train, use the simple sl command.

[root@localhost ~]#sl

The next interesting and fun command is,

[root@localhost ~]#telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl

As we can see, one of the episodes of STAR WARS is being displayed and this is really unexpected to see it in the terminal of Linux !🤩

LINUX ON FIRE !!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[root@localhost ~]#yum install aalib
[root@localhost ~]#cmatrix

Here are other commands which are really amazing :

[root@localhost ~]#yum install cowsay
[root@localhost ~]#cowsay text
[root@localhost ~]#yes text

You might have seen the Hollywood movie ‘matrix‘ and would be fascinated with the power. This is how it comes :

[root@localhost ~]#yum install cmatrix
[root@localhost ~]#cmatrix

Here is one more amazing command where we can style the text using characters and style it according to our wish and learn about more commands using man figlet

[root@localhost ~]#yum install figlet
[root@localhost ~]#figlet text

Also, I tried some tricks with command

[root@localhost ~]#tput setab {}
[root@localhost ~]#tput setaf {}

In those curly braces, we can put numbers from 0–7 for changing colors

We can try mixing the colours which will give up new look to the terminal.

THANK YOU FOR READING ! ! !
