Public bug reported:

Not sure whether it's the best place to report it. Please forward as
appropriate.

That's about https://assets.ubuntu.com/v1/3bd0daaf-
Ubuntu%20Server%20CLI%20cheat%20sheet%202024%20v6.pdf which one is
offered for download when downloading Ubuntu Server 24.04 at least.

I've noted a few mistakes:

On page 1:

tar -xvf <name.tar.[gz|bz|xz]> [destination]

Should be

tar -xvf <name.tar.[gz|bz|xz]> [members]

Or:

tar [-C <destination>] -xvf <name.tar.[gz|bz|xz]> [members]

awk ‘{print}’ [file]

is not useful (likely causing confusion with readers wondering how it's
different from cat <file>) and uses the wrong quoting characters.


Should be maybe:

awk '{print $2}' <file> : prints the second whitespace delimited field
of every line.

Also using <file> instead of [file] for consistency with other commands
where file can also be omitted to look on stdin but <file> is used
instead of [file]

On page 2:

Sudo change <username>

should be:

sudo chage

(lowercase s for sudo and chage, not change).

Firewall management and SSH and remote access sections are duplicated.
