How to touch a multifile using ssh? What happens when you run the script directly on the server? If you get the same error, then it has nothing to do with ssh. If not, it's probably related to some environment variable that the script depends on. Either way, we can't possibly provide any specific help without knowing what abinitio30.env is trying to do. |

Weekly cron job to save list of installed packages @Ubersoldat: Piped instructions should work just fine. Cron executes commands with /bin/sh, which takes care of all the pipes and so forth. |

why does ls -d also list files, and where is it documented? Maybe I should, like, answer the question? |

In bash, shopt -s failglob causes the same behavior. Setting nullglob but not failglob causes, for example, *nosuchfile* to expand to an empty string. |

Accidental chown under / as root Note that the chown may also have cleared any setuid or setgid bits on the affected files, even if they were originally owned by root. |

Why is printf better than echo? Could you expand on that? Why wouldn't it be an advantage? The phrase "if you want to call it that" implies pretty strongly that you think it isn't. |

Why is printf better than echo? Why the scare quotes? Your wording implies that it isn't necessarily a real advantage. |
