comment What is the difference between exiting a process via Ctrl+C vs issuing a kill -9 command?
If ^C doesn't work then you should try kill next, and then only kill -9 if you have to. The difference is that kill on it's own gives the program chance to clean up its files and whatnot. kill -9 just removes it without asking nicely.

@l0b0: ^C sends SIGINT. kill (without -9) sends SIGTERM. Both those work the same, and can be handled by the program, but they're independent signals.

comment autologin console as root on fedora
On most Linux installations, considering the root user "secure" is a bit of a mistake. In fact, if you have physical access to the console, and can reboot it manually, gaining access to a root shell is as easy as adjusting the kernel boot parameters, and many distros provide a "recovery mode" boot option that does it for you. The root account can be considered secure against remote users on a server, but you need an encrypted drive to make it secure against a local user.

comment How to attach to remote machine's local display session over ssh?
@foampile Look into dyndns.com (ignore the paid 'products' and just register an account at 'Sign In'). With that you can keep the same (free) DNS name even when your IP changes. Many routers support it, and if they don't I'm sure there's something you can have you machine do.

comment Synchronous notifications with notify-send and xfce4-notifyd?
Sorry, for some reason I thought Zenity did those, but now I try it I see my scripts used zenity for the indicator icons, and notify-send for the pop-up notifications.
