Linux

Always when I logged into a Gnome session, automatically several application started up without me wanting them to start up (two terminal sessions and a nautilus windows). To get rid of them (at least I think so, I will see at the next login), you have to go to Main Menu - Preferences - More preferences - Sessions. Under the "Current Session" tab, one can remove the programs that are automatically started upon login and also specify in which order the programs are started that are started automatically.

Today I created a self-extracting, compressed file from a pdf document (disclosure.pdf). First I compressed the pdf file:

bzip2 disclosure.pdf

Then I create a text file (header.txt) with the following content:

In order to search a specific directory (path_to_directory) and all its subdirectories (-r for recursive) for files that contain a specific text string, use the following command:

grep -r "textstring" path_to_directory
