The <code>ping</code> command, is used to test connection between a <b>local server/computer</b> to a <b>remote UNIX server</b>.
The ping command sends <b>ICMP Echo Request packets</b> to the remote server for accessing it.
Each <b>packet echoed back </b> (via an ICMP Echo Response packet) is written to the shell output.
</p>
<p>
Usage:
<ul>
<li> test remote server if working. </li>
<li> test network connectivity from your local machine to server </li>
<li> general network problems </li>
<ul>
<p>Example:
<ul>
<li> ping IP address = <code>ping 192.168.3.2</code></li>
<li> ping Server_name = <code>ping yahoo.com</code></li>

The shell will output something like this: <b>64 bytes from 98.138.219.232: icmp_seq=0 ttl=49 time=144.781 ms </b>for each packets that return (echoed back).

corrent directory) it is a command of the operation system Unix and Unix-like,
and in general of the systems POSIX, that show on the standard output the
absolute pathname on the corrent directory.<br>
Since a command line interface cannot provide graphic pictures of the file
system structure, it must have a different way of representing it.<br>
Think of the file system tree as a maze, and you are standing in it. At any
given moment, you are located in a single directory.<br>
Inside that directory, you can see its files and the pathway to its parent
directory and the pathways to the subdirectories of the directory in which you
are standing.<br>
corrent directory) it is a command, that show the absolute pathname on the corrent directory.<br>
The working directory is the directory where you are standing in. So for
knowing where you are, you must use the pwd command.<br><br>
knowing where you are, you can use the pwd command.<br>
<pre>
cd /home/user
pwd = /home/user
</pre>
<h3>Flags</h3>
<ul>
<li> <b>-L</b>: Display the logical current working directory.</li>
<li> <b>-P</b>: Display the physical current working directory (all symbolic links resolved).</li>
</ul>
If no options are specified, the -L option is assumed.
<ul>
<li><code>-P </code> Show the working directory path without symbolic link (links to
folder).<br>
Example: <i>/home/symphoto</i> a symlink to <i>/home/photos</i> <code>pwd -P</code>
will display <i>/home/photos</i>.
</li>
<li><code>-L </code> Show the working directory logical path with symbolic link.<br>
Example: <i>/home/symphoto</i>, that redirect to <i>/home/photos</i>,
<code>pwd -L</code> will show <i>/home/symphoto</i>.
</li>
<li>Without any flag, -L is assumed, so the normal pwd is in reality <code>pwd -L</code>.</li>

There are indeed several reasons to learn using it, here are some:
<ul>
<li> It is the only way to communicate with servers, because they don’t have a graphical user interface. </li>
<li> You can program in the Shell! Unix Shell provides a set of special commands that can be used to create Scripts.
Scripts are programs that can execute in a loop a series of commands. You can even create scripts that automatically fix your code!</li>
<li> You look like a hacker, when you use it! (If you really want to look like a pro, go to settings and make
the shell background black, with green text.) </li>

<h3>Echo</h3>
<p>This command print as output its entire argument on the command-line.<br>
It could be used with variables, like in the following example:<br>
<pre>
example:"this is an example"
<br>
<b>echo</b> $example<br>
this is an example
example="this is an example"
echo $example
this is an example

As example, we could imagine a simple text file in nano named "Hello", which contains
the line "Hello World".<br>
So, our command example will look like this:<br>

In this we could imagine a certain text file "animals", which contains a list of animal-names.

If we want to select only the animals whose name begins with the letter "d", we will write this:<br>
<pre>
grep d animals<br>
Deer<br>
Dog<br>
Dolphin<br>
...
grep "D" animals
Deer
Dragon
Dinosaur
