Today I read How to Automatically Clear Browsing History in Chrome on Exit and learned how to clear cookies etc when closing the Chromium web browser. Basically it’s Settings -> Privacy and security -> Site settings -> Cookies and site data -> Clear cookies and site data when you quit Chromium.

Error: post-commit hook failed (exit code 255) with no output
Reply
In subversion I was getting the error “post-commit hook failed (exit code 255) with no output” after trying to configure my post-commit hook to send email notifications. At first I thought the problem must have been related to the mailer, but I ran the mail command manually and it worked fine. Eventually I figured out that the problem was that the hooks/post-commit file hadn’t been marked executable. So it was a simple chmod +x to fix the problem.
Bash wait
Today I learned about the ‘wait’ command. It waits for background processes to terminate before returning, so you can fire off a bunch of jobs to be run in parallel and then wait for all of them to complete before continuing, like in this take-ownership.sh script I wrote tonight:
#!/bin/bash if [ -n "$1" ]; then pushd "$1" > /dev/null 2>&1 if [ "$?" -ne "0" ]; then echo "Cannot change dir to '$1'."; exit 1; fi fi sudo chown -R jj5:jj5 . & sudo find . -type d -exec chmod u+rwx {} \; & sudo find . -type f -exec chmod u+rw {} \; & if [ -n "$1" ]; then popd > /dev/null 2>&1 fi wait exit 0
