Howto: Get Command Line on your G1, kill processes and more!

First grab pTerminal via the app market, then run "ps" without the quotes, then you can issue the standard kill command like so:
kill 797

Note: 797 is a test process identifier, so you'll need to see the pid with the ps command.

So far I have been able to use these commands:
# cd /system/bin
# ls
rmdir
dmesg
renice
dumpcrash
rm
reboot
printenv
dd
ps
date
notify
cmp
netstat
chmod
mv
cat
mount
wipe
mkdosfs
watchprops
mkdir
wpa_supplicant
wpa_cli

  2. Hello,

    Is there someway you could define what these commands do? (a place where i can research and learn about these would be great!). :)

    Thank you.
