Re: [SOLVED] nm-applet fixes and reference links

Actually, I take back the above post. I have removed network-manager and network-manager-gnome and replaced them with wicd. I feel confident from posts of other Bunsenlab users who like wicd. This post remains solved.

Re: [SOLVED] nm-applet fixes and reference links

This is actually from Baron Schwartz's Blog. /dev/null will redirect STDOUT to a BLACK HOLE. 2>&1 will redirect STDERR to STDOUT which in turn is redirected to a BLACK HOLE.

/dev/null is a special filesystem object that throws away everything written into it. Redirecting a stream into it means hiding an output.
2>&1 redirects standard error (2) to standard output (1), which then discards it as well since standard output has already been redirected.

You can use disown as well and it will provide an output error. Just type help disown for more info.

If you want, just forget about this and use wicd.
