Re: MX-Workbench Community Respin

Sounds like a keeper for trouble shooting and checking older and newer hardware out, a bit like kali is for ummm network tools.

Downloading now to give it a try on a kingston 2gig usb 2 older stick.

Re: Upgrade Firefox

is there a reliable way to grab exit codes when su? SOLVED

su -c command really messes with exit codes. I've tried getting them all ways from sunday using a case esac menu and failed. What happens is the last command that runs is what returns a exit code.

Re: how do I import output from one script to another script

I think I found a direction

Make the variable an environment variable (export TESTVARIABLE) before executing the 2nd script.
