Here are some additional useful linux tools that I have used this week.
Screen – Allows you to have a constant screen(s). Useful when remotely connecting to a box. Now you don’t have to wait for a task to finish. SSH in start your task and log out. Reconnect with screen to the existing screen session. I use this when I have to run my website backup script.
