Equivalent of newusers for groups @Joel: No I don't think you are missing anything there. However, I would look at using LDAP to manage the users and groups rather than the flat files in /etc. |

How to get over “device or resource busy”? @Giles: fuser works will lists. Try fuser /var/log/*, if any logs are open it will tell which ones and who has it open. If a simple wildcard, won't work, find with or without xargs will do the job. |

Cron running job every 15 seconds Cron jobs don't have a terminal so I would expect the browser to fail. It may do so silently. |

Why ACPI Namespace keeps changing @Jeach: I suspect the names may come from the ACPI interface. This is provided by the manufacturers who usually program to their own specs. I suspect the zones correspond to CPU0 and CPU1. Having looked at an ACPI configuration dump in the past I agree that the names could be better. Some sensors seem to need to be scanned and can be deployed for multiple purposes. These are identified by type, and sensor utilities may have a translation table for your system. Otherwise, the software can only guess by type. |

Send duplicate packets over two Internet connections @Andrea: I would configure the mobile users system to connect using whichever connection is up. This would eliminate the duplication issue. |
