Why is printf better than echo? @Kaz: agreed. And that's where it's not an advantage ;) ... so you end up using echo (without -e) again. But then, escaping rules hold for all strings. |

SSH is suddenly not working anymore: “Write Failed:Broken Pipe” Are you using ServerAliveInterval or not? If not, try setting it. |

Why is printf better than echo? @KeithThompson: I can think of a few scenarios where you'd like to preserve the escape characters to pass them on (e.g. store them in a file). In this case echo is more flexible in a sense, since you can suppress the processing of escape characters. To me, yes indeed, it's a slim advantage. And I would hardly call it that but the OP decided to call it that, so I went with the OP's wording. Hope this helps. |

Why is printf better than echo? @KeithThompson: actually all they are meant to imply is that not everyone may consider it an advantage. |

How can I force a Ubuntu kernel to fail mounting / and drop into the initramfs rescue shell? thanks! This is spot on what I was looking for. Two things: 1.) I had to press Ctrl+C before being dropped into the initramfs shell and 2.) because I use GRUB2 the line is called linux :) |

Can someone execute a malware by just inserting a flash disk? It's a fallacy to think Linux is secure from malware. It's just not as attractive a target in times in which most malware caters the financial interests of its creators. Also, malware executed in only your user context can still steal your data. It need not have a foothold system-wide (i.e. superuser). |
