Ubuntu Server, How to read information after entering a command

  • 772

How can I pause when I enter a command so that I can read the output, the way man [command] does?

For example if I enter

samba-tool drs showrepl

I can't read all the information at the beginning because the output is too long to fit on the page.

adding ADC samba, virtualbox

command-line pager

  1. You are asking for what is called a pager. less is one prominent example of a pager. Try

    samba-tool drs showrepl | less

    When done, simply press q (as in quit).
