Apr 4, 2012 at 10:57 comment added cfi @JohnGardeniers: Btw, I would not call this "asking for a programmatic solution": This is an actual system setup case I have here with a team. IF every line in a .profile or .login means it's a programmatic solution we can close a lot of questions as being off-topic here. Imho, lots of questions are closed much too early. The mechanism with 5 votes required is flawed as the user base grows.
Apr 4, 2012 at 10:54 comment added cfi @JohnGardeniers Yes, that's why I'm tempted to give it a try and copy it to StackOverflow. Currently I feel like it will be totally random whether its going to be answered, lie dormant, be migrated, or closed. I put it on serverfault because I was hoping the more experienced sysadmins have had similar cases/request. Maybe I should ask to even migrate my own question to StackOverflow - but flagging it as "offtopic" and risking it to be closed seems....too risky.
Apr 3, 2012 at 22:51 comment added John Gardeniers Your case study is an oddity because although you're asking for a programmatic solution, SO isn't interested because they don't recognise shell scripting as programming (despite supporting numerous other scripting languages, such as PHP, HTMl, CSS, Perl, etc.). It's for that reason alone that I haven't cast a close vote on it.

Apr 3, 2012 at 17:11 comment added user9517 Mod Don't cross post, either a question is on topic for a site and it gets answers or it's off topic and it gets closed or migrated to a suitable site.
Apr 3, 2012 at 15:03 comment added Ladadadada I proposed something like this over there a while ago. The end goal in my mind was to make it look like a question had been migrated through two or more relevant sites before settling in the final one. The idea didn't gain much traction.
Apr 3, 2012 at 14:31 comment added Chris S Mod Every site has it's own independent database; something like this would be incredibly hard to implement give the current DB schema. Questions about network wide changes should be posted to Meta Stack Exchange, but they'll eat you alive if we migrate this as it's been proposed there before and they aren't nice to people who haven't read every post in existence there.
