I guess it would make sense. However you might want to ask that as new question, so that those who can decide on this (and potentially change it) will see it. (more) |

Don't use the `-9` option unless all else failed!
The `-9` option is the “nuclear option”, leaving the process no chance to clear up (e.g. deleting that `server.pid` file).
Normally you should use `kill` without that option. This will send a SIGTERM signal that should terminate the process, bu... (more) |

If the file names contain funny characters (actually only newline characters are relevant in this specific case), the option `-q` comes in handy:
```

1

I've never tried it, but x2go has the option to run single applications instead of complete desktops. It also has the option to suspend and resume a connection. Thus it might be a solution to your problem. (more) |

If you want to know whether the last character of a file is a ne... (more) |

BTW, I wonder if you have been able to boot up your Windows system again. Usually if Windows takes a long time to shut down, it is because it is installing updates. I could imagine that Windows doesn't take an interrupted update too well either. (more) |

Note that `file` is not a POSIX utility; the question it answers is not “does this conform to POSIX's idea of what is a text file” but “is this file likely to contain human-readable text”. (more) |

For automatic updates, I think the package `unattended-updates` should do what you want. However I don't think that completely resolves the issue with the message window (if whatever program is responsible for that detects a new update before the unattended update does, the message will still be disp...

Thank you. I hope that combining this with the previous answer will solve the issue with initially installed packages. (more) |
