Dec 12	comment	How can I kill a job that was initiated in another shell (terminal window or tab)? awesome! +1 just for that! thanks
Dec 11	comment	How can I kill a job that was initiated in another shell (terminal window or tab)? thanks for your answer but `top` does not appear to show all the specific processes running in the shell (e.g., it doesn't show `ping`). It does give me a PID for the terminal emulator but that kills the terminal emulator as you would expect.
Jun 22	comment	View pdf file in terminal +1 I did not know this. You just made my day!
May 13	comment	How to remove the (1) from filenames using the find command @jw013 thanks for the additional info, that helps a lot.
May 12	comment	How to remove the (1) from filenames using the find command For those of us trying to get better at our understanding of 'basic shell scripting constructs', can you briefly describe in words what this is doing?
Apr 4	comment	Is it possible to reference the most recently modified file in a command line argument? Thanks for this answer, I always learn way more than I intend when I come on SE!
Apr 4	comment	Is it possible to reference the most recently modified file in a command line argument? thanks for this answer, it is probably more than I need but there is a lot to learn here!
Apr 4	comment	Is it possible to reference the most recently modified file in a command line argument? thanks, this is simple and will definitely work for my purposes (who the heck puts newlines in a filename!?)
Jun 10	comment	Which GNU/Linux distribution for a 12-year old system? @haydoni I haven't tried the LXDE desktop but I am running Xubuntu with the fluxbox window manager and it runs pretty good on a similar box. Its not for gaming but you can get most done.
Jun 10	comment	Which GNU/Linux distribution for a 12-year old system? Puppy is good and certainly works awesome live w/o the install but it has a more limited package selection than running a debian derivative with a lightweight desktop or window manager.
Jun 10	comment	Which GNU/Linux distribution for a 12-year old system? DSL is no longer being maintained. If you want super small distros then I would go with Puppy or TinyCore
May 16	comment	How do I remove a Read-only file system from a usb drive @ennuikiller - that is what I ultimately had to do. I was trying to see if there was a more subtle or elegant way of doing it in an effort to better understand what was going on. In the end that was all that worked though.
May 16	comment	How do I remove a Read-only file system from a usb drive @boehj - seriously! I am glad I didn't have anything else on that USB so I could just go with the nuclear option.
May 16	comment	How do I remove a Read-only file system from a usb drive thanks for the suggestion. Mounting as rw alone doesn't work - it looks like I may have to go with your second suggestion to just remake the file system.
May 16	comment	How do I remove a Read-only file system from a usb drive thanks for the suggestion. It appeared to remount as rw but it still didn't allow me to remove it... even with rm -f as root.
May 16	comment	How do I remove a Read-only file system from a usb drive thanks for the suggestion. I think I intentionally purged the idea of running rm -f as root from my brain for my own good but unfortunately it didn't work it still gives me the Read-only file system error
May 7	comment	Does `shutdown -P now` safely unmount a USB drive mounted to `/dev/sdb1`? thanks for the answer, I would upvote but I don't have quite enough rep yet.
