CheeseheadPerhaps I will do *everything* as root for a day or two. With my fumbly fingers, what could go wrong?17:34

mikeputnam"So of course I'm sporting a headache that measures 'Kurt Cobain' on the pain scale and instead of easing it with some hair of the dog I have to sit through the inane drivel of a man who knows as much about linux as Princess Grace did about mountain driving..."20:51
mikeputnam"It seems you were right after all"20:55
mikeputnam"What do you mean?"20:55
mikeputnam"About a silly typing error causing problems"20:55
mikeputnam"How"20:55
mikeputnam"Well I logged in as root earlier and I was just going to try that ps thing you mentioned, but instead I accidentally typed in 'nohup cd /; rm -rf * > /dev/null 2>&1 &' "20:55
* Cheesehead hates when he types that by accident20:57
mikeputnamespecially with that dangling carrot of nohup20:58
CheeseheadI figured out that I *can* do most things as root. Just not on the computer.20:58
