Just had new work assigned and while I know some Linux commands, managing anything on there is completely new to me. I'm a web app dev by trade and I now have a site written in Perl to manage on a remote RH Linux host. I can Putty into the server with sudo access and I can understand the file structure. What I am trying to figure out is how all of this was created and managed if I'm only on a command-line interface. For example, there's html or perl code and if it's short/simple, I can use the MORE command to check it. But for more complex pages, am I supposed to write/read/manage all of this on a terminal client (using something like VIM) just the same or is there an easier way? There has to be because I'm just seeing a huge wall of text and this is no way to live. If I wanted Notepad++, how do I go about it - must it be installed on the linux host? Do I use something other than Putty to accomplish all this?
Also for crontab, is command-line the only way?
