Hello all!
Switched to Linux Mint from Slackware recently and just love how I can actually do work and not have to spend the majority of my time maintaining the operating system. I still maintain a few slackbuilds, but would like to look into contributing here.
Glad to be hear and been using Unix/Linux since 1995.
New to Linux Mint, but not to Linux...

Hi, bassplayer, I'm guessing you play the Bass! Love it, I'm a sometime bass player and my son-in-law is a very good bass player.

Welcome aboard, bassplayer! Mint is for people who don't want to be computer geeks. I am an electronic engineer, have written software, and can be as geeky as the next guy, but most of the time, I just want to use my computer for "normal" things. And Mint lets me do that. I haven't played for a while, but I play guitar, bass, and mandolin.

install a crontab job and let it take care of everything in the background.
Code: Select all
# email to the user the crontab file belongs to (unless redirected).

# For example, you can run a backup of all your user accounts
# at 5 a.m every week with:
# 0 5 * * 1 tar -zcf /var/backups/home.tgz /home/
#
# For more information see the manual pages of crontab(5) and cron(8)
#
# m h dom mon dow command
PATH="/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/sbin"
0 12 * * * cat /home/john/add-line >> /home/john/mintupdatetoolcron.log
1 12 * * * date >> /home/john/mintupdatetoolcron.log
2 12 * * * mintupdate-tool -r -l 1234 -y -s -nk upgrade >> /home/john/mintupdatetoolcron.log
0 18 * * * date >> /home/john/fstrim.log
5 18 * * * sudo fstrim -a -v >> /home/john/fstrim.log
replace 'john' with your login name
the
-nk
means do not install the kernel......the kernels break my WiFi so I monitor that manually.

Thanks everyone! Yeah, you can say that I'm on a twelve year sabbatical from playing. Wow, has it been that long already? lol Before going on sabbatical, I was playing for about 25 years with 15 or so professionally. Glad to see other musicians on here as well!!
Glad to be here!
