Linux is so BADASS!!

[SokaMoka]

So today I was glancing at the shutdown command man page (manual page) and was looking at the extra arguments, so I typed

man shutdown

And my my this was the list :

OPTIONS
-a Use /etc/shutdown.allow.

-t sec Tell init(8) to wait sec seconds between sending processes the
warning and the kill signal, before changing to another run-
level.

-k Don?t really shutdown; only send the warning messages to every-
body.

-r Reboot after shutdown.

-h Halt after shutdown.

-n [DEPRECATED] Don?t call init(8) to do the shutdown but do it
ourself. The use of this option is discouraged, and its results
are not always what you?d expect.

-f Skip fsck on reboot. ------------> This is what you need!

-F Force fsck on reboot. -------> JEEBUS!!

-c Cancel an already running shutdown. With this option it is of
course not possible to give the time argument, but you can enter
a explanatory message on the command line that will be sent to
all users.

:laugh:

O RLY?

fsck is file system check.. So.. maybe "Hey baby, how about I check your filesystem after you get your boot-ay up?" would be a good pickup line for a geek girl

you're dumb...

 

[xcript]

unzip; strip; touch; finger; grep; mount; fsck; more; yes; fsck; fsck; fsck; umount; sleep

touch: create or modify a file
ex. #touch /etc/test.log

finger: lists information about the user
ex. finger root - Would display information about the user root

more: displays text one screen at a time
ex. more +5 manual.txt (would start displaying file "manual.txt" from line 5

ah got it now.

touch makes sense.

finger not so much

more a lot more sense.

 

[sygyzy]

touch is useful to create a quick file, usually with no data. Like say you wanted to leave a note or label a folder:

touch Firefox 1.5 Install

Yeah, linux is so badass. I had to give my laptop to a linux expert, so that he could spend an hour figuring out how to turn off "tap to click" on my trackpad.

Yeah, he eventually figured it out, but it took an expert an hour to do something that's a single checkbox in windows or OS X.

Linux has it's uses, and it has some good features, but it really lacks the whole "it just works" thing that most end users want.

less > more

My friends in high school had this joke: "You better com when I finger you."

I am not sure what to answer you, prolly you missed the OP

Well I am not sure what kind of expert you handed your laptop over to, but it's fairly simple to disable a touchpad's tap to clikc feature in synaptics.

And for your convenience Linux can do what Windows and OS X do just the same way, introducing : Drum roll;
Gsynaptics Enjoy and thank me later :beer:

Anyway Trackpoints FTW!!
