So I’m pretty new to Linux and recently installed Fedora 19 on my netbook. I want to have a deeper understanding of Linux and the CLI so I’m now reading Learn Linux: The Hard Way.
The single most common causes of a broken Kali Linux installation are following unofficial advice, and particularly arbitrarily populating the system’s sources.list file with unofficial repositories. The following post aims to clarify what repositories should exist in sources.list, and when they should be used.
I’m trying to write a simple script to monitor my network status, without all of ping‘s output:
In the man page, it says: kill [ -s signal | -p ] [ -a ] [ — ] pid … pid… Specify the list of processes that kill should signal. Each pid can be one of five things: 0 All processes in the current process group are signaled And I tried like this in … Read more

I have a simple script that I understand most of, it’s the find command that’s unclear. I’ve got a lot of documentation but it’s not serving to make it much clearer. My thought is that it is working like a for-loop, the currently found file is swapped in for {} and copied to $HOME/$dir_name, but how does the search with -path and -prune -o work? It’s annoying to have such specific and relevant documentation and still not know what’s going on.
