Handle Too-Long Command Lines with xargs

Handle Too-Long Command Lines with xargs xargs is one of those UNIX utilities that seems pretty useless when you first hear about it -- but turns into one of the handiest tools you can have. xargs reads a group of arguments from its standard input, then runs a UNIX command with that group of arguments. It keeps reading arguments and running the command until it runs out of arguments. The shell's backquotes do the same kind of thing, but they give all the arguments to the command at once. This can give you a Too many arguments error. Here are a couple of examples: If you want to print most of the files in a large directory, put the output of ls into a file.

Another way of saying it is, CCNAs use this command to secure a router by disabling common IP services which can be exploited by attackers to initiate network attacks. When the command is typed on a router, it takes the user (ccna) through a command line-interface (CLI) semi-interactive session (which is also known as the AutoSecure dialogue). Below is the command's syntax: auto secure [management | forwarding] [no-interact | full] [ntp | login | ssh | firewall | tcp-intercept] As you can see, the command can use several "optional" keywords: management - This (optional) keyword is used to only secure the management plane of a router. forwarding - This (optional) keyword is used to...
