How many times you need to practice a command?

Jump to solution

I know the man pages are always there for reference, but realistically, we often don't have the luxury of time during the exam or even critical tasks in the future. I’ve been wondering, how many times should I practice commands or processes to truly internalize them?

For example, mid-level tasks like breaking root password, creating a custom repository, or configuring an IPv6 network interface. Not looking for anything specific, just general advice on how to build strong command recall and confidence.

Thanks in advance for your insights!

@Maximus_el  I will try to give my experience. When I started with Linux, RHEL to be precise, the rigorous preparation for the RHCSA and RHCE resulted into me remembering all the commands, those covered in both the exams / courses by heart.

Post that - familiarity with the basics helped me remember the new commands easily, eg. system performance utilities like sar, iostat, mpstat, ps, tcpdump, and other commands like lvm related, parted, rsync, cryptsetup, iscsiadm, mdadm, systemctl, yum etc.

Crux is that - it takes years of experience and daily work hours where you execute the commands on daily basis and then these comes naturally at your fingetips.

Same applies to openshift, podman, ansible ,openstack commands.

Others might have different perspective to this. I will suggest not to worry about it and practice till you remember all of them ( in the RHCSA / RHCE exam /course ).
