Why is sshd looking at a non-existent public key file? That is the directory listing of .ssh on the server, not the client. I feel confident that the contents of .ssh on the client are good because my sshkeys work with other machines. |

Is there a command line tool to insert line breaks into a long string?fold appears to have similar behavior to fmt when the -s option is used. |

How do you write specific bytes to a file? Although this does answer my question, it doesn't help in my situation. I have a very large input of hexadecimal numbers that I would like to pipe into a file. I will update the question with this. |

Is it possible to get specific information about how a file is compressed? I wonder if possibly there is a compression utility that uses a simpler algorithm useable for education purposes. |

How to fix Linux filename tab autocomplete that is appending a space instead of trailing slash on directories? This worked. Guess what the culprit was - Adobe Reader. facepalm Think I'll have much luck reporting that bug? I at least have to try, I guess. |

Where are the command-line options to perl documented? Egh. How was I supposed to know that?! |

How can I apply my procmail filters to my maildir inbox? That presents a partial solution. In this case, some emails would most definitely be routed back into the inbox. It seems like there should already be some *nux solution to this problem that I am just not aware of, instead of writing a script to simulate the existing mail delivery process. |

How do systemd and chkconfig interact with respect to services and runlevels? From what directory is that ls statement run? |

Why is a service being started if it isn't mentioned in /etc/init.d? I have updated the question title to better reflect this, but I am seeing that distccd is actually being started with a service distccd start, even though there is no file /etc/init.d/distccd. So I am asking how that is happening, not how to make it happen. |

How to remember the difference between du and df? Hah, Unix & Linux's tag autofill has already partially answered my question! Way to go! (I had tagged the question du, and after submission it autofilled it to disk-usage) |

Why does bash variable expansion retain quotes? @jw013 I ended up getting everything to work just fine, by the way. |

Why does bash variable expansion retain quotes? Sorry, I didn't want to distract with too much detail, but what I'm doing isn't really complicated, IMO. I'm creating a script that takes a "time" and a "message". It then runs at for the given "time", and tells at to run the command dzen2. dzen2 takes the "message" from stdin, and also uses some other static parameters. The difficulty is that I need to pipe the "message" parameter from the user into the dzen2 command, but I'm not actually running dzen2 myself, I'm telling at to do it. |

Why does bash variable expansion retain quotes? @jw013 Good point and great articles. I like the quote "Variables hold data, functions hold code." from the first link, but for my usage, the data that is given to a function (in this case, at) is code. Any tips on a safer way to organize/collect code that will be given to at? |

Why doesn't dzen2 work when invoked via at? Gilles to the rescue. It is no wonder you have 87k reputation! I know you have saved me on more than a few of my own questions. Thumbs up to you, man, and thanks again. |

Why is 'df' hanging? A game in the alpha stages of development, the inspiration for minecraft. It occasionally hangs. Searching google for the solution to just such a hang led me here. |

How do you save a complex regex for multiple reuse in sed? Hrm. Trying this, backreferences appear to be broken. s/$complicated_regex/\1/ gives an error saying that is an invalid reference. |

What does . match? @jw013 - Unfortunately, that documentation only says " '.' Matches any character, including newline." |
