# Linux System Administration
## Overview
Core commands and best practices for Linux system administration, including system information viewing, resource monitoring, service management, etc.
## System Information
### Basic Information
```bash
# System version
cat /etc/os-release
uname -a
# Hostname
hostnamectl
# Uptime and load
uptime
```
### Hardware Information
```bash
# CPU information
lscpu
cat /proc/cpuinfo
# Memory information
free -h
cat /proc/meminfo
# Disk information
lsblk
df -h
```
## Resource Monitoring
### Real-time Monitoring
```bash
# Comprehensive monitoring
top
htop
# Memory monitoring
vmstat 1
# IO monitoring
iostat -x 1
iotop
# Network monitoring
iftop
nethogs
```
### Historical Data
```bash
# System activity report
sar -u 1 10 # CPU
sar -r 1 10 # Memory
sar -d 1 10 # Disk
```
## Service Management
### Systemd Services
```bash
# Service status
systemctl status service-name
systemctl is-active service-name
# Start/Stop services
systemctl start/stop/restart service-name
# Boot startup
systemctl enable/disable service-name
# View all services
systemctl list-units --type=service
```
## Common Scenarios
### Scenario 1: System Health Check
```bash
# Quick health check script
echo "=== System Load ===" && uptime
echo "=== Memory Usage ===" && free -h
echo "=== Disk Usage ===" && df -h
echo "=== Failed Services ===" && systemctl --failed
```
### Scenario 2: Troubleshoot High Load
```bash
# 1. Check load
uptime
# 2. Find high CPU processes
ps aux --sort=-%cpu | head -10
# 3. Find high memory processes
ps aux --sort=-%mem | head -10
```
## Troubleshooting
| Problem | Commands |
|---------|----------|
| System lag | `top`, `vmstat 1`, `iostat -x 1` |
| Disk full | `df -h`, `du -sh /*`, `ncdu` |
| Memory shortage | `free -h`, `ps aux --sort=-%mem` |
| Service abnormal | `systemctl status`, `journalctl -u` |
