`/etc/sudoers` — specify `env_keep` for one command only? @Arrowmaster -- thanks, that seems like a better approach than the one I was messing around with. Since I'm already wrapping sudo with a function of my own, I've simply added a if [ "$1" == "$EDITOR" ]; then block and am now calling sudoedit instead :) |

`/etc/sudoers` — specify `env_keep` for one command only? do you have any idea why the examples in my revision don't seem to work? |

`/etc/sudoers` — specify `env_keep` for one command only? hmm - perhaps I spoke to soon. Now that I try this, I can't actually get it to work. Can I trouble you to take a look at my revision? |

`/etc/sudoers` — specify `env_keep` for one command only? brilliant, thank you. I couldn't find a proper example of that syntax. Now that you spell it out for me, I can see how I should have worked that out from the man page, and I feel slightly foolish. No doubt this answer will help others, too, though. |

`/etc/sudoers` — specify `env_keep` for one command only? yeah, that's a very similar use case to the one I had in mind, thanks! |

Which run dialog Gnome-Do is dead, isn't it? Synapse and Kupfer seem to be leading the field now, I believe. |

How do I find text within a file and have it search multiple subfolders? @tooshel: only if you don't want everyone to be able to use it...! |

Permissions issues for shared directory on a server watch out for the smart-quotes in this answer! (did you copy-paste from this blog jeff.robbins.ws/articles/… ? It seems to derive from this site's very own @Gilles :)) |

Turning an old computer into a network firewall smoothwall is a fine choice - simple, lightweight and secure. You can run it easily off a USB key if necessary, too. |

Cloud Server: Which MTA (exim/postfix/etc.) on What OS (Linux/FreeBSD) @pepoluan: absolutely no such thing as too stable here. We're talking about MTAs -- it's hardly the bleeding edge of innovation. Any of these solutions will have all the functionality you need, so your decision should probably be based on stability, resource usage, and ease of management (inc. quality of documentation). In my opinion, debian stable (note that that's debian 6 squeeze as of Feb. 2011) and exim4 comes out best overall. |

How do I reuse the last output from the command line? it's the only answer here which allows the OP to reuse the last line -- everything else entails running the command again, which could be anywhere between utterly irrelevant and catastrophic :) But the OP did say reuse. |

How do I reuse the last output from the command line? +1 -- good answer! you could achieve the same thing, even if you're not running X, by using GNU screen (gnu.org/software/screen). |

best bittorrent client on Linux @Faheem: the significant difference is that you don't need trackers (though Tribler can make use of them) -- you can source content directly from other users. This means, amongst other things, that there is no need for sites like thepiratebay.org, which can be taken down, compromised, or have legal action brought against them, etc. |
