linux disown!

nohup or disown
nohup if you haven't started the job yet and want to run it in the background.
disown if its already running...
so Ctrl + z to detach, bg to background and then disown (jobid) to make it run in the background!

best educational experiences..

The best educational experiences are when we work hard for it, when we apply ourselves and think over solutions/possibilities and try to infer things if we are not sure. In college, there were friends with whom we discussed topics, debated possible approaches to problems. Today, I attend interviews! What better ways to know your weaknesses, strengths and different perspectives on technology or implementation!

mount points with space in fstab

Just something i came across recently. I had a space in the filesystem mount point, something like "New Volume" which was a windows filesystem detected and auto-mounted by ubuntu. So how do you add this to fstab? Lookup on the fstab man page says: The second field (fs_file). This field describes the mount point for the filesystem. For swap partitions, this field should be specified as `none'. If the name of the mount point contains spaces these can be escaped as `\040'. Ex: /dev/sda5     /media/New\040Volume     ntfs     defaults     0     2
