It's a Unix question, and there are a plethora of Unix resources out there that answer these sorts of questions (see Sue's weekly FAK, or ). I don't see why people have a problem posting questions to -questions. You don't need to have subscribed to -questions in order to do so (so the argument that you get lots of mail if you subscribe to -questions is moot) and the peer review helps keep the answers accurate.
