- SFOS Cheat Sheet: not strictly GUI-equivalent things, but covers package management, restarting certain services, and other bits and bobs. Generally a handy reference.
D-bus commands for things like GUI actions; This one turns on Bluetooth
dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=com.jolla.Bluetooth /com/jolla/Bluetooth com.jolla.Bluetooth.startSessionThis command allows you to create a new file with contents;
cat > makenew.fileenter 'add contents' - ctrl+c to finish.The net is littered with info on this type of thing, as Jolla basically runs on GNU/Linux and I'm certainly a novice when it comes to CLI environments.
This site is a good guide, but remember that not all commands there apply to Sailfish;

piero ( 2015-12-23 02:40:36 +0200 )editUsb mode setting can also be done from the command line, there is the usb_moded_util
Get the supported modes: usb_moded_util -m Get the currently set mode: usb_moded_util -q Set a new mode: usb_moded_util -s <mode_name> Set a new mode by default: usb_moded_util -c <mode_name></mode_name></mode_name>
usb_moded_util -h will give you a complete list of options
