in Linux but according to my previous experience if i don’t practice I will
forget things very easy (as there are tons of commands to remember which I
will forget with less or 0 practice). so i am here to ask all the old Pros
that how you guys manage to remember all the commands and practice all the
previous work. Since after the deployment of some Linux services there is
only the log which i have to see for further errors. So how it is possible
to keep in my mind all the old stuff and along with that I can move forward
with the new goals.

Thanks

If you do things often enough, you remember the stuff you need to

remember. And keep reading. You never know when you'll find something
really useful or interesting.

You can always write simple bash scripts in some work directory and comment
them to remember what they do. And also, use the bash_history file, after
you've set a larger limit to it. This is how I do.
However, nothing beats practice -- find yourself a project and dive in
after reading a bit.

Good luck!

I wish I was sysadminning a Linux environment :-(
