Use `less` to view comma-aligned data See also 'man cut' to view only specific columns, e.g. cut -d',' -f1,4-6 would return only columns 1,4,5 and 6 |

Run a simple http server locally on a non-80 port "Would be also nice to run it in a SCREEN" - eh? It's a daemon? |

How to tell when a computer is idle? You'd need to be a lot more specific about what you mean. What if they started a setsid progam before logging out - would you consider their session still active? What can you not get from the bash history? |

How can I run a process in a terminal window and then hide that window? agreed writing a daemon would be a better approach, but 'echo /usr/bin/python ~/program/proxy.py | at now' is a quick fix. |

How can I run a process in a terminal window and then hide that window? The posix nohup does not call setsid() (some implementations do) you've only isolated the signal, it's still in the same process group |

Linux server monitoring software "started to crash occasionally, I suspect because of overload" - load will not cause the OS to crash. Its more likely a hardware fault. |

Is the crazy partition layout in Fedora 15 really nessesary? Putting /home on its own partition makes life a lot simpler when you upgrade or migrate across distributions. |

Launching application from terminal some implementations of nohup call setsid() to isolate from the process group it was invoked from - but not all (indeed the POSIX spec does NOT) |
