Ok one of them is.. What is the chmod command to sudo a file? I think it's +s and something else I don't remember.. I had a how to for this but I can't find it anymore since I hosed my system
and also my other question is.. when linux get's hosed and it forces you to manaully fsck what's the mount command to mount the partition in read write mode?
Thanks for your help :)

Yeah, but is there any other way to do it? I know there is. Cause I normally close the term window cause it's just sitting there so I do wvdial & or if im a x-front end for wvdial and it crashes then im stuck with the same thing.. So that's why I was wondering if there was a command to shut it off. So I can make a disconnect button or something like that.

Ok I figured out 1 and 3 on my own and wrote some scripts for the wvdial thing. so now my only question is this..
when linux get's hosed and it forces you to manaully fsck what's the mount command to mount the partition in read write mode?
Does anyone know this? This is really important to me cause I ended up reinstalling once because I didn't know this so I could manualy fsck it.
Thanks in advance.

If the partition isn't mounted use mount -t ext2 /dev/hdxy /your/mount/point. Replace ' xy ' with the correct partition info.
If it's already mounted as read-only, use mount -n -o remount,rw /. If you're trying to remount the root partition as read/write.

ahhh thankyou! that's what it is
mount -n -o remount,rw /
when I had debian installed when it did that it told me to type that and that's where I first seen it. But nooo redhat doesn't tell you to do anything but fsck it. and I couldn't do that so I reinstalled!
but anyway thanks alot!
