This is the -k option's documentation in man shutdown (at least on Ubuntu):

logins, do not actually bring the system down.

I thought of renaming my account to Gil, and decided that the hard-to-read name was idiot-proofing: if you don't use completion to ping me, I probably don't care that much for your input
I am not very worried about letting others around me know I don't know much. What I am more worried, if I let them know my existence at SE, is: some people don't have patience but are not happy that I turn to the internet. Some people don't like me to know more than them. Some don't like to know that I think what they told me is wrong.
Some don't understand why I have questions of so much variety and different levels, and worried if I am insane.
@Gilles You have a list of 1128 questions you want to answer when you find time... Wow. I think you may have crossed way past 'genius', through 'eccentric', right on by 'crazy', and headed deeply into 'lunatic'.
@Braiam wow...
There are two ways to feel stupid reading an answer... That is the bad way :-(
If we install the Red Hat Syatem then do we able to compile the other distros of linux on the Red Hat server system, If yes then please provide the tutorials and links.
I am attempting to use an NFSv4 mount across two systems that do not share UID/GIDs. This is for a system migration where the old environment used whatever UID/GIDs were available, and they now conflict on the new environment. I've given all the users new non-conflicting IDs on the new environm...
we're going to give this question at least a few hours to a day to see if anyone on SU can answer it; if not, we're thinking of possibly migrating it to unix.SE. any objections from this side of the fence on the potential for migration?
I wrote an answer to a question that was a paragraph and a half long, and it's been receiving a lot of edits from anonymous users that do nothing but introduce spam. This has been going on for a couple of weeks now, I'm sick of seeing this junk in my global inbox, is there some way I can get it t...
As Shog said, you're pretty spot on with your observations.
In fact, we had not fully realized just how much of a problem anon spam suggested edits actually were until we got the new system in place.
The good news is it's working, and it's working very well. Behold, 1800 things that didn't ann...
note that it's important to reject spam suggested edits as vandalism (that's how the spam filter learns)
Display sizes are determined primarily by how many displays will fit on one mother glass slab at the manufacturing plant.
The manufacturing plant starts off with a single slab of glass, onto which the displays will be manufactured. Mother glass sizes are mostly standardized in the industry, and...
Normally, I expect to come away from Superuser stupider than when I went.
@Ramesh This is much of what I'm rejecting throughout the night. It comes in waves. There had been a lull of a few 1-2 weeks, but it's been trickling in now again. Just keep rejecting them, they'll stop.
> - Virtual terminals by Peter MacDonald (who was to do the SLS distribution). > > Before having X, this was a _big_ deal. The fact that Linux had virtual terminals with a good vt100 emulation actually made Linux stand out even among some of the big commercial unixes. The Linux console was just _so_ much more pleasant to use that it isn't even funny.
@Gilles But then it's probably not the device number problem, as you'd have tty1 .. tty8, as there are 8 members of that array.
I don't know, I haven't spent the evening. And possibly shouldn't, considering your warning.
Dire warning, even.
@Braiam I'd try upgrading the other package first, instead of removing it. At least if there is an upgrade in the new Ubuntu (as opposed to it being removed). If that's circular, then I guess remove would be fine, as would --force-overwrite
@Braiam packages.u.com tells me its in trusty, so I'd see if I couldn't upgrade it first. But --remove is mostly harmless, provided it doesn't get you into another dependency hellhole. Which it may well.
As for mixed packages, you can always clean that up after getting out of the dependency war. And, hopefully, the trusty packages have higher version numbers.
Well, a little less, depending on which state you're in. But that's what cheap (but still reasonable) monitors cost. As long as you don't want a pixel more than 1920x1080.
> 6,320 Dominican pesos ($167) per month in the FTZs and between 6,880 pesos and 11,292 pesos outside the FTZs, depending upon the size of the company; 5,117 pesos ($130) per month for the public sector; 234 pesos a day for farm workers who are covered by minimum wage regulations based on a 10-hour day, with the exception of sugarcane workers who received 129 pesos ($3.19) based on an eight-hour workday.
@derobert Agreed, there are lots of different positions, not just two sides
@derobert right now, the immigration restrictions in the US are pretty strange as far as I can tell. On the one hand, illegal immigration from the south is pretty easy.
on the other hand, highly qualified people can't get in easily.
the former presumably because they want cheap labor
Not sure when I first became interested in it, a while ago. And you run into it all the time if you follow any economics stuff (actual economics, not just the current Dow), as I suspect if you asked any economist their list of our 10 stupidest (or, at least, wealth-reducing) policies, immigration wouldn't be #1, but it'd be on there.
