View source for Useful Commands for Satellite CCRMA

These are the basic commands you should use with Satellite CCMRA:
* '''ssh -XY ccrma@192.168.105.106''': This logs into the Satellite CCRMA at the IP address 192.168.105.106 as the user ccrma, and with X window forwarding enabled.
* '''start-jackd''': Starts the audio connection server. (More about jack at [http://jackaudio.org/])
* '''pd &''': Starts pd (More about pd at [http://puredata.info/])
* '''sudo halt''': Starts the shutdown process. Wait 20 seconds after this and then pull the power plug.

This is a list of commands that are useful to use on the Satellite CCRMA:
* '''pkill <name of program>''': kills all instances of the program with that name. For example, '''pkill pd''' will stop pd if it is stuck or frozen somehow. 
* '''sudo reboot''': Reboot the system.
* '''<name of program> &''': runs program as a background process, so that you can continue to type other commands into the console. For example, "arduino &" starts the Arduino IDE but also allows you to type other commands before you quit the Arudino IDE program.
* '''top''': program that shows the CPU usage of the Beagleboard. Press 'q' to quit.
* '''alsamixer''': lets you look at the mix of the audio input and output. Useful for setting the audio input level on the microphone, for instance.
*''' ls''': lists the files in the current directory.

* '''mv <source> <destination>''': move file from source to destination
* '''pwd''': lists the full path name of the current directory
* '''nano''': opens a text editor
* '''cp <source> <destination>''': allows you to copy files locally within the Beagleboard filesystem. 
* '''sudo <command>''': executes the command as a superuser once password is entered. For example, to stop the Satellite CCRMA before shutting down, type 'sudo halt'.
* '''df''': displays free disk space. 
* '''man <command>''': show the manual for a command.

* '''stop-default''': kills pd and jack
