Is the network up when the .profile file is read on boot up? An alternative way to run the script is with a systemd service in which the code can be configured to run the script when the network is up.

The choice of controllers for cgroups on this machine is here: [tom@min /sys/fs/cgroup]$ cat cgroup.controllers cpuset cpu io memory hugetlb pids rdma misc If it's not going to be pids, then the others are available. How they can be used, I can't say though.

I cannot answer your question, but I do know there are many undocumented kernel options and command options that one finds when researching various problems online. In relation to linux documentation such as the man pages, they are written at a certain point in time but the software of the...

In relation to the outputs of commands on the capacity of hard drives, one needs to be mindful of the difference between gigabytes (x1000) and gibibytes (x1024). Here are some examples on a machine with a 500GB disk. [root@mon ~]# fdisk -l Disk /dev/nvme0n1: 465.76 GiB, 500107862016 bytes...
