@J-Cake I would just delete the SO one and post here instead. I'm surprised it hasn't been closed on SO, actually, is it even on topic without any code? It might be, I am not an expert on SO's scope. In any case, I would think the natural home for that question is here.

If you don't get any useful answers by the time your bounty expires, I would delete and post here instead.

@terdon hey thanks. I may not have included any code but I see it as a programming question, however theoretical it may be. But in any case, the bounty expires in 18 hours, so I guess that's exactly what I'll do. Once confirmation though is whether you mean into the chat or on Unix&Linux StackExachange?

@J-Cake I mean into Unix & Linux, not chat. Good point, that wasn't clear before.

And you're right that it's a programming question, but at its core, it's more of a Linux question and the programming only comes into it when discussing how to wrangle the Linux side. Anyway, I won't press this point, I am just a low-rep user on SO and don't know the details of their scope. It may very well be on topic there too.

@terdon Thanks anyway for the advice. I'll post it here when the bounty runs out

Good luck! It seems interesting, although sadly way past the limits of my knowledge, so I can't help.

I would be happy to put a bounty on it though, so feel free to ping me after you bring it here and ask me to.

And mine :P but a bounty sounds amazing!

Do you think a simply Copy+Paste is enough or should I reword the question? Even after deleting the original?

@J-Cake Nah, if you mean in order to avoid being accused of cross-posting, if the original is deleted you're absolutely fine.

Okay perfect then that's what I'll do. Thanks a million again for your help

np :)
