[solved] Simple commands?

Hi there.

I don't seem to have the "ps" command or the "uptime" command.

There's probably more, but that's the ones I have noticed as of yet.

What package(s) do I install?

ps is owned by procps package and uptime is also owned by the same package. Try

pacman -S procps

thanks, that did the job.

I'll bump if I find I'm missing anymore.

You wouldn't believe that I couldn't find that on google, would you?

That package normally gets installed during installation. Did you by any chance remove it and forgot about it?

Shouldn't have been removed, but I was messing about with some things and when I removed the stuff again, it might have taken a bit much. I didn't see anything in what it was removing that looked essential, but I guess I didn't look closely enough.

Careful now

I can re-setup everything I've done in this box

Though given it's only a 10GB box, I should make a disk image somewhere.

If you install pkgtools you can use pkgfile to find all packages that own a specific file.

pacman tells you what it's going to install/remove and asks you to confirm before proceeding - all you have to do is pay attention.

You can also check your pacman log to see if you removed anything else.
