How does coreutil's date manage to get such weird results? Thanks for finding this out! Do you know any shorter way to obtain the number of seconds of a duration like "2 days" with date? (e.g., an abbreviation for the epoch) |

How to do nothing forever in an elegant way? P.T.: I know about screen, but this is to run multiple occurrences of the program from a shell script for testing purposes, so using screen is a bit overkill. |

How to do nothing forever in an elegant way? w00t: Did you mean "<&-"? Indeed, it makes the program terminate. Adding a switch is not a very elegant solution, because it feels like there should be a sensible way to reach the desired behavior by giving the adequate input to the program. |

How to do nothing forever in an elegant way? From strace tail -f /dev/null it seems that tail uses inotify and that wakeups occur in silly cases like sudo touch /dev/null. It's sad that there seems to be no better solution... I wonder which would be the right syscall to use to implement a better solution. |
