On this URL: http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/Installation_Guide-en-US/s1-rescuemode-boo... there is a description of "linux rescue" which includes the following:
From the prompt, you can run many useful commands, such as:
ssh, scp, and ping if the network is started dump and restore for users with tape drives parted and fdisk for managing partitions rpm for installing or upgrading software joe for editing configuration filesQuestion: Is there a complete list somewhere, of which System Utilities and Commands are available, if one boots into "linux rescue"?
If rescue mode manages to mount your installed system on /mnt/sysimage it automatically adds elements to the path including /mnt/sysimage/bin:/mnt/sysimage/usr/bin:/mnt/sysimage/usr/sbin:/mnt/sysimage/sbin:/mnt/sysimage/usr/X11R6/bin, so it depends on what you have installed.
Typing <Tab><Tab> at the command prompt after skipping the mounting or removing the /mnt/sysimage elements of the PATH variable (e.g. PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin) shows 438 available commands for the 5.2 DVD booted in rescue mode. Won't try to include them all here.
