2. Five ways to logout from bash1.logout
2.exit
3.CTRL+d
4.export TMOUT=1
5 kill -9 $
Don't use the fifth one when you are the root since it will kill some essential processes.

3. To change the root :The first step is to reboot the system. When grub loads up, move the arrow up/down to highlight and select the Linux kernel and press e to edit the GRUB commands before booting.Next, move the arrow up/down and select the Linux kernel and press e again.Give a single space and then type the word ‘single’ at the end of the line. Hit ENTER . Then press b to boot up with the single word, which will boot Linux into single user maintenance mode. Now you will get a command prompt rdy to accept your commands.Voila!!!! you are done. Now just enter the ‘passwd’ comand to reset your (without prompting for the older one).Reboot and you are now the ROOT.However this is not working in all linux distros.

4. Play s in RAR file without extracting:Just type in command line
unrar p -inul /path/to/_folder/.name.r00 | vlc -
