Suggestion to add some OS commands

Hi All,

From last few practices in KodeKloud-Engineer, I am eager to highlight below point:

Can some additional OS commands be included in provided servers?

I have worked on Kubernetes topics and found ‘clear’ command is not installed in the provided VMs for the task. This is not issue for small tasks, but it is really helpful when the task is big and when working on Kubernetes tests which consists of 9-10 questions.

Hi @ssinha

Do you mean the clear command to clear the terminal screen is not installed in the labs?

Yes… It was not in the Kubernetes level1 test and few other labs in kubernetes.

Ok, a screenshot could have helped.
I’ll check this and inform the concerned team about this

Hi @ssinha,

You are correct, the clear command isn’t install in Kubernetes Test. We will let the team know about it.

There is another way: in a Linux terminal, pressing Ctrl+L clears the screen and moves the cursor to the top.

Thank you Raymond. Have not tried this way around.

Is this allowed in test?

Yes, I’ve just tried and it’s worked properly.
