When on Linux, you might want to check pgrep and pkill.

You can change grep -v grep | grep "vmstat 15" to grep "[v]mstat 15", it is slightly safer in matching.

Cross posting is a bad habit: askubuntu.com/questions/227043/… Get the question migrated when you expect it to get better response in one of the other stacks.

And of course you will turn off password authentication (in favour of key authentication) if you directly connect to Internet.

comment Why can an unpriviliged user execute the `sync` command?
What is that useful for? BTW there is no password on the sync account on the box I am currently working on, so that won't work.

@killermist If you can't trust umount to flush the buffers to disk, why would you trust sync? Or should we start typing sync; sync like we are used on AIX?

comment Why can an unpriviliged user execute the `sync` command?
@MichaelMrozek Not sure, maybe I'm asking why there is a /bin/sync binary. At least I think it doesn't have to be this easy to execute a sync. Either include it into eg. your database engine (like sqlite3 does) or if it is really important make it available to root only (or a group).

Also I am talking about the /bin/sync command that can be interactively typed from the shell, not a sync() in eg. an sqlight3 executable.

If they happen automatically, what is the use for manually triggering it? If committing disk writes at user request is so important, why doesn't Windows have a button for it? (Yes I know I'm on a Unix stack here, but we are talking low level committing disk writes and Windows would have a similar issue).

@BonsiScott Sure, you can remove the permission bits from the executable. But I don't know if something will get broken when you do that.
