comment Skype window doesn't show on Debian 7.0 with Openbox
Sometimes these issues can be solved by running the program again, it might become visible (i.e. un-minimized) then... no idea if this works with Skype.

comment How can I run a shell script as a daemon under Redhat?
@bshacklett: I just stumbled upon dendrite, fitting into a related niche, could be interesting here.

Yate comes to mind. Never got it really working, though.

@bshacklett W.r.t logs, I'd have a closer look at logstash. The store can be fed logs directly from Log4j, but the logstash agent can also monitor log files

@bshacklett you can examine any init script's (any shell script's actually) function by running it explicitly with bash -vx, ie. bash -vx /etc/init.d/script start.

Don't bother getting the usage of this right and go with daemon, there's a RPM package, too. Btw, there're many log monitoring tools out there (start here).

comment How can I run a shell script as a daemon under Redhat?
It's not wrong. /etc/init.d/functions defines a daemon function that expects its argument to daemonize itself, it only takes care of things like changing the user, setting ulimits, checking (not creating!) a pidfile... The best usage of this daemon function is to replace it with libslack's daemon ;)

comment not able to mount burned ISO9660 file-system before ejecting and re-inserting the media
Maybe some udev event has to be triggered, you could try to do this with udevadm

comment not able to mount burned ISO9660 file-system before ejecting and re-inserting the media
Something seems to auto-mount the image for you... as you did not actually mount it after you re-insert the tray... Btw, maybe mount -o loop /path/of/ubcd521.iso /mnt saves you the burning by just mounting the ISO file

comment Does Chrome run on Debian kFreeBSD?
a) What makes you think Chromium doesn't do Flash? (See this recent issue on getting it to work) b) Please don't cross post‌​, trust in the moderators to move your post if it's not in the SE site best suited for your question. c) Anyway, Debian's chromium package is not available for kFreeBSD but Chromium seems to run on FreeBSD.

@jordanm, you might be right; I expanded it a bit.

comment Xen error on CentOS
I don't know about xen-create-image, but your issue is caused by Debian "Etch" being unsupported as of 2010-02-15 (and thus disappeared from the mirror)

comment Host process for multiple processes?
Probably depends on the number of them... and how similar they are. If what differs is (e.g., crude sketch follows) the port and ServerRoot, this could be encoded in the symlinks, i.e. /sv/lighttpd_var-www_80 -> /etc/sv/lighttpd, where the latter inspects its $0 and sets appropriate command line parameters.

comment Is expect tool availabe for ARM platform
Are you using some distribution? Debian, for example, has expect for armhf and armel architectures; a *.deb file can be handled as a tgz archive.

comment aptitude remove pkg_name* not working like apt-get
Using aptitude manually, I sometimes press M on a category, marking all packages under this category as "installed automatically" (i.e. a dependency of something) – this selects packages not a dependency of anything for deletion (and most probably is not the best way to do this; note that Ctrl+t lets you "cancel pending actions")

comment aptitude remove pkg_name* not working like apt-get
Aptitude has many search terms, maybe these help you (they probably solve the libqt* issue, e.g. ?name(libqt*))
