From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What can you automate with Beachpatrol? The sky is the limit:

Check your email.

Login to your bank account.

[...]

Oh hell no!

Yeah... I'd rather spend some time doing those manually and not risk losing money (or even worse) because of a mere couple seconds less on the internet.

It's really cool, when automation tools create more problems than they actually solve.
