Change default path for when I SSH in to CentOS server? It's better to use usermod when changing anything concerning a user that writes to /etc/passwd, to prevent mistakes: usermod -d /home user. |

'kill java' doesn't kill javakill -9 is generally a last resort. It's better to try kill -11 then kill -6 first. If kill -11 doesn't kill it, kill -6 usually does. Try kill -11 first, wait a few/several seconds, and if the process is still alive, try kill -6. Wait several seconds and if it still isn't dead, you can then try kill -9. |

/: is a directory issue in bash Upvoted. The shell will interpreted text separated only by slashes as directories, not commands/arguments. The forward slash can be used in arguments of, for example, Perl scripts (requires configuring Getopt::Long or rolling your own), but still requires the space between the command and arguments -- again, this is a shell requirement. |

Is there any way of prompt a message when a command in /usr/sbin/ is tried to run as nonroot? Did you source your .bashrc or close and open a new terminal? |

Rename multiple directories decrementing sequence number? while technically true, quoting is generally considered best practice. |

What distribution for light weight server? ArchLinux stands by it's slogan, but if you want a lightweight distro that doesn't take much effort/time to get up and running, then Ubuntu minimal is the way to go. I recently used in a project and got up and running in no time. |
