Very simple question, I'm new to Linux  I have a command run on startup (Elementary OS) command is:  /home/zachary/Documents/Server108/Server108.sh   When I turn my laptop on the command runs in the background, and this is great, but I can't issue a "Stop" command because the terminal never opens. So, my question is this;  How do I force the terminal to open, run the script and then stay open? Do I need to add a line to the .sh file, or add arguments to the startup command?
I have a Python script which I would like to execute at every startup. I can run it by adding this to the startup applications:  python3 /path/to/script.py   That works, but it doesn't open a terminal window, so I can't see the program's output. How could I make it open a terminal window and execute the script in there?  Note: I get the window to stay open with input(' ') at the end of the Python script. Thanks!
I read following in a web site ()     Lenses with maximum apertures of f2.8 allow the camera to use all high   precision sensors. In low light or other situations that are hostile   to autofocus, that’s a big deal. Lenses with a maximum aperture of   f4.0 use only the center focus sensor in its “high precision” mode,   and use the other sensors in their “horizontal line” only mode. Lenses   with a maximum aperture of f5.6 use all sensors in their   “horizontal-only” mode, and lenses with a maximum aperture of f8 use   only the center sensor point, and that with horizontal sensitivity   only.   I want to understand if this is completely true? I am raising this because recently I have purchased a Nikon 70-200 f/4 lens and would like to understand if I have made a wise investment, or, should I collect some more money and buy a 70-200 f/2.8 VR-II lens. Replace arbitrary characters in the middle of an IP address string with sed I need to find and replace either one or two numerical characters in strings in a file.  The strings are IP addresses of the form:   10.xx.y.z    Where xx can be one or two characters.    I want to replace the xx with the single character 0, so I have  10.0.y.z    preserving the values of y and z.   The string may appear multiple times in the file.  What is the sed invocation to do this? When trying to mount an exfat filesystem, I get the following error:  Error mounting /dev/sda6 at /media/gkp/Backup: Command-line  `mount -t "exfat" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid" "/dev/sda6" "/media/gkp/Backup"'  exited with non-zero exit status 32: mount: unknown filesystem type 'exfat'   Exfat is used on some USB sticks and camera sd cards. What can I do to mount this type of filesystem? How can I create an executable JAR with dependencies using Maven? Admin privileges requiring for installing a package build though Packages Using osx 10.9 and packages for making package installer.  While installing a package made using Packages in /Applications location on a osx 10.9 machine, installer is asking for Admin password. Even though I had unchecked 'Require admin password for installation' while package making.  So, how to avoid this i.e a non-admin user should install this package. Package should install in /Applications location, so that non-admin user can use the app.  I check  and Word meaning a job someone is installed in where they don’t do anything What is the difference between "nothing but", "anything but", and "everything but"? SE Android app for tablet has bad formatting on feed In a race there are n horses.In the race more than one horse may get the same position. For example, 2 horses can finish in 3 ways.   Both first horse1 first and horse2 second horse2 first and horse1 second   In how many ways,the race can finish so that a particular horse can never be first.If f(n) is the number of ways, is there any recurrence relation to get f(n). A $60\times 60$ board is partitioned into rectangles of size $2\times 5$ (or $5\times 2$). Is it true that there always exist another partition into rectangles of size $1\times 3$ (or $3\times 1$) such that any $2\times 5$ (or $5\times 2$) rectangle contains a $1\times 3$ (or $3\times 1)$ rectangle?  For the "simple" partition into $2\times 5$ rectangles, this is certainly true: use the simple partition into $1\times 3$ rectangle.  Another way to partition is to first partition the $60\times 60$ board into $12\times 10$ boards, and then for each such board, put two $2\times 5$ at the top and ten $5\times 2$ below. It is not hard to tile each such $12\times 10$ board with $1\times 3$ (or $3\times 1)$ rectangles so that each $2\times 5$ (or $5\times 2$) contains a $1\times 3$ (or $3\times 1)$ rectangle.  (I'm assuming that an $m\times n$ rectangle has $m$ rows and $n$ columns.) I have 13.04 installed from a DVD that I got on eBay but the application launcher is missing.

Is it possible to add a CC to a webform email?  I was using   function theme_webform_mail_headers($variables) {   $headers = array(     'X-Mailer' =&gt; 'Drupal Webform (PHP/' . phpversion() . ')',   );   return $headers; }   changing it with      function MYTHEME_webform_mail_headers($variables) {       $headers = array( 'CC' =&gt; 'ccmeail@domain.com', 'X-Mailer' =&gt; 'Drupal Webform (PHP/'. phpversion() .')',  );       return $headers;     }   It does not work, I've cleared all the chaches and it does not add the CC. How could I add the CC?  Thanks in advance. How to concatenate items in a list to a single string? Decrease Backlight Below Minimum I have this laptop that doesn't handle the backlight very well.  In /etc/default/grub, I have added a acpi_backlight=vendor function to get it to work at all. Which is cool, and the backlight now actually works, but the minimum backlight setting is still pretty high.  Is there any way to decrease the backlight below minimum? I don't mind having to type in the terminal to do that, as I won't need to do it often (just at night etc.) Currently, the only way to ask for something to be migrated to a site that isn't part of the standard migration path is through a custom mod note.  I currently have two active custom mod notes on Stack Overflow that ask for migration that are not standard targets for SO.  I believe the questions could be better answered on another site.  Fortunately, or unfortunately, the questions have been answered, and answers have been up voted and accepted. At this point, a week and a half later, migrating either of the questions would be disruptive to both communities and not necessarily produce a better answer (they've got accepted answers).  The unfortunate part is I really do believe that both questions could have gotten better answers and more attention on another site.  What I would like to see is a more streamlined way to flag for moderator attention for migrations.  The UI would look something like this:    This would allow people to find the proper site easily.  No more "Migrate this to Mathamatica.SE" because, well, that doesn't exist.  Something that I didn't do on this mock up is add a link to the corresponding help/on-topic page for the target site.  Something people could check and click before hitting the submit button.  I don't have this quite right again, because while that shows a "closing for off topic", this is a flag and not a vote to close.    The "flag for migration" is only one part of this though.  The other part would be to make another flag queue style thingy for moderators in which they could look at just migration flags created through the above interface.  By providing the mods with a "just migration" view into the flags, questions that should be migrated can be quickly identified from the multitude of existing flags and handled promptly before the migration would be disruptive. Let $x\in\mathbb{Q}$ with $x&gt;0$.  Prove that we can find $n\in\mathbb{N}^*$ and distinct $a_1,...,a_n \in \mathbb{N}^*$ such that $$x=\sum_{k=1}^n{\frac{1}{a_k}}$$
