bitcoin commandline ubuntu

[robocop]

Hello guys

I want to manage bitcoins with command line in ubuntu.

I entered in my ubuntu terminal

Code:

bitcoind -daemon

and the deamon starts but then I wait any minutes and nothing happens in the terminal.
I thought I must start the deamon first and then I can enter the next commands for example

Code:

bitcoind -getdifficulty

to get the difficulty.

thx for help

No dash.

Code:

bitcoind getdifficulty

When "bitcoind -daemon" is started. Type "bitcoind help" to get the list of commands.
