fwupd is an open-source daemon for managing the installation of firmware updates on Linux-based systems, developed by GNOME maintainer Richard Hughes. [1] It is designed primarily for servicing the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) firmware on supported devices via EFI System Resource Table (ESRT) and UEFI Capsule, which is supported in Linux kernel 4.2 and later.
Snap is a software packaging and deployment system developed by Canonical for operating systems that use the Linux kernel and the systemd init system. The packages, called snaps, and the tool for using them, snapd, work across a range of Linux distributions [3] and allow upstream software developers to distribute their applications directly to users.

time — Run command line and report real, user, and system time elapsed in seconds. timeout — Run command line as a child process, sending child a signal if the command doesn't exit soon enough. top — Show process activity in real time. touch — Update the access and modification times of each FILE to the current time. true — Return zero.
BusyBox is a software suite that provides several Unix utilities in a single executable file.It runs in a variety of POSIX environments such as Linux, Android, [8] and FreeBSD, [9] although many of the tools it provides are designed to work with interfaces provided by the Linux kernel.
The command killall -9 has a similar, while dangerous effect, when executed e.g. in Linux; it does not let programs save unsaved data. It has other options, and with none, uses the safer SIGTERM signal. SIGPIPE The SIGPIPE signal is sent to a process when it attempts to write to a pipe without a process connected to the other end. SIGPOLL
It will set the machine to sleep after 5 minutes of inactivity, put the display to sleep after 2 minutes, and spin down the hard disk after 3 minutes. Only privileged users can issue this command. If the command is issued successfully and is without syntax errors, pmset will exit silently with an exit code of
pax is an archiving utility available for various operating systems and defined since 1995. [1] Rather than sort out the incompatible options that have crept up between tar and cpio, along with their implementations across various versions of Unix, the IEEE designed a new archive utility pax that could support various archive formats with useful options from both archivers.
