 An important note for users not familiar with Linux:  Any command run in the System Commands menu must return (indicate it has completed) in order for its output to be shown. For example, if you ran "ping 4.2.2.2" in this menu it would continue to ping forever until you stopped it. On the screen, you'd simply see the progress indicator continue to spin. It would not indicate completion on its own, and you would see no output. You must put a limit on the packets sent so it will return. For example, typing "ping -c 5 4.2.2.2" would output the results of the ping command from sending 5 test packets.
