Oct 8	comment	Automatically restart simple Linux daemon (polipo) when it dies Sorry, I've given up and deleted the script in disgust.Have a +1, anyway!
Oct 8	comment	Automatically restart simple Linux daemon (polipo) when it dies Thanks. I tried adding an upstart script, but after spending an hour on this it just wouldn't start. Typical Linux - nothing ever "just works". sigh
Jun 22	comment	Slipstream SP1 into Windows Server 2008 R2 installation files Wow, "messy" is an understatement. Why, Microsoft, why?
May 28	comment	Run command as Linux “system” user (shell = /bin/false) That works, thanks! How did I miss the -s option?
Mar 21	comment	Send Ctrl-Alt-Del over SSH? I doubt that a Windows utility would have worked on a Linux server. :)
Mar 7	comment	Update permission denied, can't give self db_datawriter permission despite being admin on box Awesome, that worked for me. Thanks very much!
Mar 4	comment	Unable to access Windows file share by simple server name `nbtstat -a servername` worked OK and showed the MAC address. I ended up rebooting that machine and now it works. Weird. Thanks for your help anyway, +1.
Nov 29	comment	How to see active connections and “current activity” in PostgreSQL 8.4 Can it work without root access on the machine?
Mar 15	comment	Linux script to kill process listening on a particular port Indeed. the `?` wildcard doesn't work on my version of lsof, but multiple -i options work. Changing the accepted answer to this one.
Mar 15	comment	Linux script to kill process listening on a particular port Alright then, another +1 here on Server Fault.
Mar 15	comment	Linux script to kill process listening on a particular port +1 Works very nicely, thank you. I'm accepting Peter Lyons' answer, just because it's one line and can be pasted into the command-line more easily. :)
Mar 15	comment	Linux script to kill process listening on a particular port Awesome, that's exactly what I need - thanks!
Mar 15	comment	Linux script to kill process listening on a particular port No, there's just one, and I can't go by the process name, because it's typically just "python" or "java".
Nov 29	comment	Why am I getting this 403 Forbidden error? It would need execute permissions on the entire directory tree, yes. Read permissions would only be needed on any web directories you want to list files in.
Nov 26	comment	Why am I getting this 403 Forbidden error? To su to it you'd need to edit /etc/passwd and temporarily change its shell to /bin/bash (or whatever your normal shell is).
Oct 3	comment	Protected Apache web sub-directory asks for password twice Not quite, but you pointed me in the right direction: AuthName was the problem - see my answer.
Oct 3	comment	Protected Apache web sub-directory asks for password twice Thanks, but this didn't help - it still behaves the same.
Sep 27	comment	Best online backup provider with simple and secure FTP server It looked promising, but I asked them and they don't allow their service to be used for file storage - just like pretty much every other web host.
Sep 17	comment	Best tool to migrate a PostgreSQL database to MS SQL 2005? Thanks, tried it, but ran into a few errors with the large tables.
Sep 16	comment	Best tool to migrate a PostgreSQL database to MS SQL 2005? The SSIS package sounded very promising and I tried it, but unfortunately it runs out of memory and fails. :( ERROR [HY000] Out of memory while reading tuples.; Error while executing the query (PSQLODBC35W.DLL)
