I appreciate your tight ship very much, Neo. I like this forum. And I suppose you are tiring of this part of the discussion.

But the particular statement that was deleted above was in no way a...

Neo, you're being inconsistent.
But to try to introduce a modicum of consistency, please delete the word "Religious" from "Crazy people unleash a deady Virus (Politics, Religion)" (and correct the...

I have read the sun-expansion scenario numerous places but I've never read any suggestion that the earth's orbit would increase to avoid being scorched. What mechanism would push it out?

As for...

You scanned the list too quickly.

I understand most astronomers and cosmologists agree that number 1, "Red giant expansion of our Sun burns up the Earth", will happen no more than 5 billion years...

Ever since the 80's, I've been appalled at how many people actually think the click-and-wait interface (GUI) is superior to the command line. I suspect that can be explained by most of them never...

Though, of course, you'll want to put the log in a different directory so it doesn't get swept up in the delete.

If you want really lightweight, you might try Ratpoison (http://www.nongnu.org/ratpoison/).

But if you want both lightweight and practical, checkout LXDE (http://wiki.lxde.org/en/Main_Page).

Cygwin (http://cygwin.com/) is wonderful! And it keeps getting better because there are good developers constantly parrying Microsoft's maneuvers and keeping third-party package updates compiled. I...

I've tried to totally ignore Netfix to date, though I might change my mind. But I refuse to keep a Windows box running for any reason.

Is anyone streaming movies from Netflix and watching them on...

Are you going to continue to use Windows?
Or are you switching to Linux?

If you must keep using Windows, I thoroughly recommend you install and use the Cygwin (http://cygwin.com/) environment. ...

Why do you want that?

It seems like that would only be an advantage if you read really, really fast and practically non-stop, or you don't have a computer with internet access.

I download to my...

You may be able to do what you need to do from /etc/rc.local, which runs as root on startup.

BTW, a salmon is a fish but what's that allikm warhmat stuff?

The question isn't clear.

If you want to find the current directory, the pwd command will give it.

If you want to know if a path exists and is a directory, you can test it something like this...

Opening a file takes time. So if possible, you should open each file only once (or the minimum number of times you can) and get everything you might need and save it in memory (in variables).
...

Every once in a while, I take a peek at OpenIndiana (http://openindiana.org/), Nexenta (http://www.nexenta.org/) and Illumos (https://www.illumos.org/) hoping to see the spirit of OpenSolaris rise...

I carry a small Samsung phone in my pocket, but I keep it turned off unless I need to make a call or are expecting a particular call. I give the number to friends, but not to my employer. My total...

Have you tried logging in without a password, with a key?

Create a key, e.g. with command ssh-keygen -t dsa. You'll be prompted for a passphrase.
That creates id_dsa (your secret key) and...

My favorite such site is queryip.net/ip/ (http://queryip.net/ip/) because you don't have to use lynx or much of a script to scrape the IP. The IP address is all that's returned. Here's the whole...

Yeah, I know about DynDNS (http://www.dyndns.com/services/dns/dyndns/), no-ip (http://www.no-ip.com/services/managed_dns/free_dynamic_dns.html), ChangeIP (http://www.changeip.com/freedomains.asp) and...

It's not that I don't want to use ssh-agent, it's that you have to be present after a reboot to type in the passphrase to unlock the secret key to use it. The nature of a remote system is that I...

No matter what I echo, it never writes to the log.
In fact, I tried to just touch the log, but it was not created.
The "command=" options seems to always be ignored.

Actually, that's not right. ...

The problem is, the remote site may have it's IP address changed, so I won't be able to ssh to it until I get the new IP address.

That's actually the main reason I want to do this. I can easily...

I can do that with my regular key file. But I'm trying to limit this key so it can only cat data to the log file.

I won't be there to type in a passphrase or password, so security has to be a...

I'm trying to have an unattended remote PC log some data on home PC.
man sshd says I should be able to put a command in authorized_keys.
This is what I have on the remote machine. The key is a...

Wow! :eek:

If ever there was a valid, legitimate need to run real Windows, you just nailed it.
