# COMMAND-LINE PROCESSING CYCLE
##############################################################################
# The default order for command lookup is functions, followed by built-ins, with scripts and executables last.
# There are three built-ins that you can use to override this order: `command`, `builtin` and `enable`.
command # removes alias and function lookup. Only built-ins and commands found in the search path are executed
builtin # looks up only built-in commands, ignoring functions and commands found in PATH
enable # enables and disables shell built-ins
eval # takes arguments and run them through the command-line processing steps all over again
##############################################################################
# INPUT/OUTPUT REDIRECTORS
##############################################################################
cmd1|cmd2 # pipe; takes standard output of cmd1 as standard input to cmd2
< file # takes standard input from file
> file # directs standard output to file
>> file # directs standard output to file; append to file if it already exists
>|file # forces standard output to file even if noclobber is set
n>|file # forces output to file from file descriptor n even if noclobber is set
<> file # uses file as both standard input and standard output
n<>file # uses file as both input and output for file descriptor n
n>file # directs file descriptor n to file
n<file # takes file descriptor n from file
n>>file # directs file description n to file; append to file if it already exists
n>& # duplicates standard output to file descriptor n

# PROCESS HANDLING
##############################################################################
# To suspend a job, type CTRL+Z while it is running. You can also suspend a job with CTRL+Y.
# This is slightly different from CTRL+Z in that the process is only stopped when it attempts to read input from terminal.
# Of course, to interrupt a job, type CTRL+C.
myCommand & # runs job in the background and prompts back the shell
jobs # lists all jobs (use with -l to see associated PID)
fg # brings a background job into the foreground
fg %+ # brings most recently invoked background job
fg %- # brings second most recently invoked background job
fg %N # brings job number N
fg %string # brings job whose command begins with string
fg %?string # brings job whose command contains string
kill -l # returns a list of all signals on the system, by name and number
kill PID # terminates process with specified PID
kill -s SIGKILL 4500 # sends a signal to force or terminate the process
kill -15 913 # Ending PID 913 process with signal 15 (TERM)
kill %1 # Where %1 is the number of job as read from 'jobs' command.
ps # prints a line of information about the current running login shell and any processes running under it
ps -a # selects all processes with a tty except session leaders
trap cmd sig1 sig2 # executes a command when a signal is received by the script
trap "" sig1 sig2 # ignores that signals
trap - sig1 sig2 # resets the action taken when the signal is received to the default
disown <PID|JID> # removes the process from the list of jobs
wait # waits until all background jobs have finished
sleep <number> # wait # of seconds before continuing
pv # display progress bar for data handling commands. often used with pipe like |pv
yes # give yes response everytime an input is requested from script/process
