Crib Sheets and helpful command reminders for DalePlummer

Commands to invoke LaTex and view or print the output:

Linux
$ latex test.tex   # invokes LaTex, processes test.tex, and writes test.dvi
$ kdvi test.dvi    # opens test.dvi for viewing and printing

Windows (MiKTex)
> latex test.tex
> yap test.tex

We used to do this for a temporary backup

# cd /usr/local
# tar cvf yyyymmdd.tar /usr/local/www
# scp yyyymmdd.tar dalep@biostattest.dhcp.mc.vanderbilt.edu:/home/dalep
# rm yyyymmdd.tar (previous ones)
#
To set the time...
# ntpdate -d time.nist.gov
