In a console, is it possible to change into a commands "environment"? To explain, I take "git" as an example. While programming and using a git repository, I change to the repos path and then do many "git" commands like "git x ...", "git y ... " etc. So what I want is to somehow change "into" git...

I want to put a getty on ttyS2 on a RHEL 6.1 box so I can use IPMI's serial-over-ethernet functionality to log in to a machine when SSH isn't working. In the past (on Ubuntu?), I used to add a line like this to /etc/inittab: S1:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -h ttyS2 19200 vt100 But I see various...

I have 2 dedicated servers at the moment both running CentOS 5.3 and Plesk 10, but I'm about to give up trying to transfer the data from old one to a new one, because they just wouldn't connect via Plesk. Is there any other less painful way to transfer all the data and settings? Files, database...

Both the undisplayed maximized window and minimized window are invisible to the end user. By undisplayed I mean an inactive maximized window covered by the active window.

My laptop (an HP with an i3 chip) overheats like crazy every time I run a resource heavy process (like a large compilation, extracting large tarballs or ... playing Flash). I am currently looking into some cooling solutions but got the idea of limiting global CPU consumption. I figured that if t...

It seems that usually it is talked about snapshots as read-only. (In a scenario where one creates a snapshot, then does some experiments with the main volume, and then restores the old state by "merging" the snapshot into the main volume.) Is an alternative scenario possible in LVM? I.e., where ...
