Looking to zip up a folder on my linux box ie zip -r9 test /var/www/html/ where does that resulting test.zip file end up? in my pwd? I still want to leave the contents of /var/www/html intact.
Yes, it creates zip in your current working directory.
True is that you are free to specify relative or absolute paths like you wish.
zip test.zip path/to/files
will place test.zip in the current working directory.
zip /foo/bar/test.zip path/to/files
will place test.zip in /foo/bar

I have python file in by ubuntu virtual machine's home directory. Is there any way I can move it to another directory instead of copying the entire code and then making a file in the directory and then pasting and saving it as a new file.
Can you use the copy (cp) command?
cp <file_to_copy> <location_to_copy_to>
That's a very silly question.
Just copy/cut the file and move it to the required directory. No need to copy the code and the creating a new file in another directory you can do this manually ( by right clicking, cut ,paste) or via terminal by just typing mv [Path of file] [The destination or cp [Path of file] [Destination]

When I try to cat in one file, for exemple cert.pem I receive ab error: No such file or directory
These are symbolic links - special files that just contain the path to another file. When you cat them, they essentially redirect to the file they link to. However, as evident by the red color in the ls output, these links are broken - they point to files that do not exist, and thus you get that error when you try to cat them.

I have two folders /tmp/logs and /home/tmp/
/tmp/logs has 50 files already in it.
I want to move all the files to /home/tmp and also when a new file is created in /tmp/logs it gets created to /home/tmp instead.
So /tmp/logs just exist as a folder but nothing gets created inside it.
#move /tmp/logs to their new location
mv /tmp/logs /home/tmp
#replace the original /tmp/logs with a link to /home/tmp
ln -s /home/tmp /tmp/logs
Now whenever a program requests the kernel that anything be done in /tmp/logs, the kernel will see it's a symbolic link and will instead act on the corresponding file in /home/tmp (what the link points to).

I'm currently using rsync as follows
rsync -az --delete ...
What option can I use with rsync to replace all destination files that already exist except for one specific file that should not be replaced if already exists? Sure, if the file doesn't exist at the destination, it should be put there.
I don't know whether it is possible in one invocation, but you could call rsync twice:
rsync ... --ignore-existing file dest
Now the file is put there if it didn't exist before.
rsync ... --exclude file src dest
Now all the other files are handled as usual, except for the one excluded file.
