Find out how much disk space is available on your box

It’s easy to use, but sometimes easy to forget the command. I’m documenting it here:

$ df

Oh, you don’t know what all those number are? You want it in a human readable format?

$ df -h

There you go! Now, go and check your servers and make sure your disk space is running out.

The open command makes it open!

A quick discovery and a quick question:

The discovery first? It is simply this. Try it yourself, on your own command line:

open http://putyoururlhere.com

And if you would like to have the url open in the background, just specify that with the -g option.

open -g http://gputsittotheback.com

I’ll leave it up to you to find out more (yes, there is more): man open

Now for the question:

What is your choice for launching applications, urls, files?

Also, I would just like to mention that the commands above may be specific to Mac OS X.
