Opening and closing threads
Hi all,
Just thought I'd mention something I've noticed since joining this forum
Would it be a good idea to close threads once the initial question that was posted has been answered?
I notice a few posts where people go on and on and as soon as you post a reply to one question they come back at you with another, like
here.
Also since this forum seems to mainly be a questions and answers type of forum it's easier to see which questions are still unanswered as marked as an open post, where as questions that have been answered could be marked as closed.
I guess this throws up the discussion on who would actually close the post and what constitutes a solution but I thought it's something I would mention since I've seen it on other forums.
Thoughts?

REALLY new to this stuff, sorry.
So I want a shell script to open a program, wait 45 minutes, close it, and then do it all again. I want to do this because I am running an iMacros Script for a long period of time and if Firefox is not constantly restarted, memory leaks start to happen.
Anyway... (6 Replies)

dpkg-reconfigure
DPKG-RECONFIGURE(8) Debconf DPKG-RECONFIGURE(8)
NAME
dpkg-reconfigure - reconfigure an already installed package
SYNOPSIS
dpkg-reconfigure [options] packages
DESCRIPTION
dpkg-reconfigure reconfigures packages after they have already been installed. Pass it the names of a package or packages to reconfigure.
It will ask configuration questions, much like when the package was first installed.
If you just want to see the current configuration of a package, see debconf-show(1) instead.
OPTIONS
-ftype, --frontend=type
Select the frontend to use. The default frontend can be permanently changed by:
dpkg-reconfigure debconf
Note that if you normally have debconf set to use the noninteractive frontend, dpkg-reconfigure will use the dialog frontend instead,
so you actually get to reconfigure the package.
-pvalue, --priority=value
Specify the minimum priority of question that will be displayed. dpkg-reconfigure normally shows low priority questions no matter what
your default priority is. See debconf(7) for a list.
--default-priority
Use whatever the default priority of question is, instead of forcing the priority to low.
-u, --unseen-only
By default, all questions are shown, even if they have already been answered. If this parameter is set though, only questions that have
not yet been seen will be asked.
--force
Force dpkg-reconfigure to reconfigure a package even if the package is in an inconsistent or broken state. Use with caution.
--no-reload
Prevent dpkg-reconfigure from reloading templates. Use with caution; this will prevent dpkg-reconfigure from repairing broken templates
databases. However, it may be useful in constrained environments where rewriting the templates database is expensive.
-h, --help
Display usage help.
