Comment Post #293206 The OS can set the hardware clock too, and I would expect this to happen automatically eventually. I don't know what exactly is used for time synchronization in Ubuntu, but there should be a command to run it immediately.

Comment Post #293023 Weasyprint was just what I needed! I had previously tried with the latex engines in texlive, and that just seemed unnecessary complex for a seemingly simple task.

Question How does the OOM Killer stop its victim process?
Suppose the machine is short on memory and the OOM Killer has selected a target process to shut down (in order to reclaim memory). How does the OOM killer actually kill the process? Is it done using one of the standard signals, or does it perhaps have some special tricks up its sleeve?

Comment Post #292860 Yeah there is. I just find it sketchy to copy paste commands with unexplained options, thus I prefer the long format. But it can be an ok addition as long as it's the same command. Go ahead and suggest an edit!
