Useful Tips

[fanton]

Here are some commands I like to run.

- apt update && apt upgrade
- freshclam
- sa-update
- free -h
- df -h /
- w ( instead of uptime & who)

I also installed needrestart and htop

apt install needrestart
apt install htop

Any suggestions on what else to add to my list?

Thank you,

mailq

edit: Oh, and the command which I execute habitually:
dmesg -T | tail

This many times let me unexpectedly spot unusual events which colleagues or a monitoring system haven't noticed.

I think the OP is talking about MailGateway (not sure since his post doesn't say much about what he actually wants to achieve) not PVE. The recommendation is the same though: https://pmg.proxmox.com/pmg-docs/pmg-admin-guide.html#chapter_pmgupgrade
