    Question Brain melt: need help with basic commands

    I dunno whats happenned to me but after I setup my headless server again, Ive suddenly become brainless. Servers working fine but I want to improve on it and I cant remember a thing and my links are gone, with my memory. Over 24hrs without sleep and 2more hours to go

    I'd appreciate some help on ...

    Logging in so I dont need to keep typing sudo all the time.

    There was something else but I cant remember it, in fact its that bad atm I cant remember how to word the last one correctly. The last 2 I had to retype about 3 times.

    Appreciate any help, thanks.

    Thanks chomptown! That was driving me crazy, I was thinking su, no thats sudo, su, super user, hmmmmm ... Then went a little crazy, though that could maybe be down to my lack of sleep ... 34hrs now, should probably go to bed before midnight.

    Anyways, I owe you a cup, thanks.

    Take a li'l downtime (i.e. sleep). It's when I get really tired that I make stupid (expensive) mistakes that take even longer to fix.

    I second that when I get tired is when I make dumb mistakes get some sleep you won't regret it.
