As I mentioned in my Chromebook review, the Chromebook has a limited built-in shell that you can access via keys:
ctrl-alt-t
. You can then enter help
to see the available commands… the best of which is the ability to ssh into a unix machine and get your mitts on a full shell! But after fooling around in it a bit, I found there are even more commands available when entering the command help_advanced
. The available advanced commands are:
connectivity
Shows connectivity status. "connectivity help" for more details
experimental_storage < status | enable | disable >
Enable or disable experimental storage features.
ff_debug [
Add and remove flimflam debugging tags.
modem
Interact with the 3G modem. Run "modem help" for detailed help.
modem_set_carrier carrier-name
Configures the modem for the specified carrier.
network_logging
A function that enables a predefined set of tags useful for
debugging the specified device.
network_diag
A function that performs a suite of network diagnostics. Saves a copy
of the output to your download directory.
route [-n] [-6]

set_apn [-n

If
registered network.
set_apn -c
Clear the APN to be used, so that the default APN will be used instead.
set_arpgw
is reachable.
tpcontrol {status|taptoclick [on|off]|sensitivity [1-5]|set
tpcontrol {syntp [on|off]}
Manually adjust advanced touchpad settings.
tracepath [-n]

wpa_debug [

chaps_debug [start|stop|

Still not what I want but a step forward…
