virtual-filesystems(7)


NAME

   virtual-filesystems  -  event  signalling that virtual filesystems have
   been mounted

SYNOPSIS

   virtual-filesystems [ENV]...

DESCRIPTION

   The virtual-filesystems event is generated by  the  mountall(8)  daemon
   after  it  has  mounted  all  virtual  filesystems  listed in fstab(5).
   mountall(8) emits this event as an informational signal,  services  and
   tasks  started  or  stopped  by  this event will do so in parallel with
   other activity.

   This event is typically used by services that must be started in  order
   to mount other filesystems.  When this event occurs, common filesystems
   such as /usr  may  not  be  mounted.   For  most  normal  services  the
   filesystem(7) event is sufficient.

EXAMPLE

   A  service  that  wishes  to  be  running  once virtual filesystems are
   mounted might use:

          start on virtual-filesystems

Business Opportunity - Goldman Sachs, IBM and countless large corporations are leveraging open source to reduce costs, develop products and increase their bottom lines. Learn what these companies know about open source and how open source can give you the advantage.



Free Software


Free Software provides computer programs and capabilities at no cost but more importantly, it provides the freedom to run, edit, contribute to, and share the software. The importance of free software is a matter of access, not price. Software at no cost is a benefit but ownership rights to the software and source code is far more significant.

Free Office Software - The Libre Office suite provides top desktop productivity tools for free. This includes, a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation engine, drawing and flowcharting, database and math applications. Libre Office is available for Linux or Windows.



Free Books


The Free Books Library is a collection of thousands of the most popular public domain books in an online readable format. The collection includes great classical literature and more recent works where the U.S. copyright has expired. These books are yours to read and use without restrictions.

Source Code - Want to change a program or know how it works? Open Source provides the source code for its programs so that anyone can use, modify or learn how to write those programs themselves. Visit the GNU source code repositories to download the source.



Education


Study at Harvard, Stanford or MIT - Open edX provides free online courses from Harvard, MIT, Columbia, UC Berkeley and other top Universities. Hundreds of courses for almost all major subjects and course levels. Open edx also offers some paid courses and selected certifications.

Linux Manual Pages - A man or manual page is a form of software documentation found on Linux/Unix operating systems. Topics covered include computer programs (including library and system calls), formal standards and conventions, and even abstract concepts.
