 +<code>sudo lsof -i:8078</code>
 +==== Superuser ====
 +=== Execute sudo cmd without needing to type password ===
 +== Staying Safe ==
 +  - backup ''/etc/sudoers'' file i.e. copy to somewhere safe
 +  - leave at least one terminal window open as root
 +  - edit ''/etc/sudoers'' with ''visudo'' not ''sudo''. It's a wrapper for your already configured editor (not necessarily vi)
 +== The Magic ==
 +  * create a wrapper script that does all your magic for you. Don't add sudo to the cmds in the wrapper script
 +  * using ''visudo'' add to the end of your ''/etc/sudoers'' file ''USERNAME ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD: FULL_PATH_TO_SCRIPT'' substituting in USERNAME and FULL_PATH_TO_SCRIPT as necessary
 +  * to execute the cmd without password type ''sudo FULL_PATH_TO_THE_SCRIPT''
 +===== Misc =====
 +   * write to dmesg: ''echo Some message > /dev/kmsg''
 +   * add timestamp to log entries that are piped. Add to pipe: ''gawk '{ print strftime(), $0; fflush() }' ''
 +     * ''awk'' is supposed to do this but at least when then piping to ''grep'' only ''gawk'' worked.
 +   * remove package with all its dependencies. As root: ''apt-get purge `apt-get -s purge <PKG> | grep '^ ' | tr -d '*'`''
 +   * [[https://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/tabexpansion.html|autocomplete parameters in bash script]]
 +   * traverse through to see what is using disk space: ''du -cha --max-depth=1 /var | grep -E "M|G"''
 +   * find out what app is on a particular port: ''netstat -anpe | grep "1234" | grep "LISTEN"''
