UNIX HATERS book is bogus..., but you can learn from others mistakes
I have read through that so-called "unix haters" book.

It is filled with people who either didn't understand what they were doing or weren't paying attention to what they were doing.

Unix can be a VERY unforgiving OS. The assumption is that we actually KNOW what we are doing.

"Knock on wood" (my head) I have never had a catastrophic encounter with UNIX. And the times that I have had serious problems, they were MY OWN fault. Nothing to do with the OS itself. UNIX is very elegant in its spartan manner and probably the most stable OS that we well ever know of...

A smart man learns from his own mistakes...
A WISE man learns from other's mistakes as well...

NAME

       update-profile-cache - (re)generate profile assignment cache

SYNOPSIS

       update-profile-cache

DESCRIPTION

       Running	this  script  (re)generates the cache of profile assignments used by desktop-profiles. By default this script is run automatically
       once a day by a cron script.

       NOTE:  No cache of assignments will be generated in cases where cache use isn't supported by desktop-profiles (at the moment  caching  pro-
	      file  assingments  is  only  supported in the simple case when no group or command requirements are used for activation of profiles,
	      i.e. when we have a static machine-wide profile assignment).

FILES

       /etc/desktop-profiles/*.listing - Files containing the metadata about installed profiles

       /etc/default/desktop-profiles - File containing default settings for this script
