Unattended-Upgrade upgrades and restarts my machine without any issues. However, I have a python script that runs infrequently, but when it runs it may take days to complete. I would like to suspend automatic reboots while this script runs.
What is the easiest way of achieving this?
I asked a question earlier today (Why isn't there a 64-bit binary for Skype?) and immediately received a number of downvotes (with only 9 views the question had 3 downvotes).
I've since edited the question in recognition of the fact that answerers likely can't speak for Microsoft's motivations.
...
Yeah, I saw that question... It was getting hammered with downvotes. "But I want to ask!!!". I think the better question is: "Why do you care? Windows doesn't need additional binaries installed to support multi-arch. Linux does. Oh and you're lucky you don't have to run it in wine any more anyway... so small victories."
I'm connected to a FreeBSD Computer using ssh [ip] -X, and emacs launches just fine, but this happens and all the icons are little pieces of paper with red X's:

It outputs a boolean and probably returns true when the string cmd_args contains characters except alphanumerics and the symbols (space), (_), (-)? Or did I forget any symbol? And how do I add other allowed symbols?
@ByteCommander If the write head of the disk was enlarged to be the size of the Sears tower in Chicago and the platter were enlarged by an equal amount, the head of the drive would be hovering literally (I believe) 3 mm from the disk surface.
And you know what else? There's a spring pushing the head against the platter. Guess what causes the head to hover over the surface instead of scraping it?
@NathanOsman I have to look up the exact technical details,
It's been a while,
but if I remember correctly, they built a kind of "scanner" that uses very low current that generates a very low magnetic field, that "scans" the disk platters
and then re-constitutes them in virtual platters, sectors, ... and then virtually reads the data...
