The fact that the dwarf fortress binary is just 'df' was asking for trouble. In hindsight seems amazing nobody reported this before.

      Hate it when I'm starting a newly written python script, and have forgotten the hashbang. For some reason my mouse cursor turns into a cross, and the script does nothing! Always takes me a couple of seconds to realize what's going on...

        I have a similar issue where I tend to start typing python code in the shell without remembering to enter the repl first.

    Which is why I use graphicsmagick [1] instead. The imagamagick executables becomes options behind the 'gm' executable. [1] http://www.graphicsmagick.org/ http://www.graphicsmagick.org/

      Can't believe I never heard of GraphicsMagick. Thanks for the heads up. I wonder if it has a Ruby interface.

        IIRC yes but, since it leaked memory like a sieve, I did everything via system("gm ...") (This memory is a few years out of date.)

      That's still much better than their 'createuser'

  http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009696799/utilities/df.html http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009696799/utilities/df.... says what df does on any POSIX system. I love Dwarf Fortress but running it as root is more !!fun!! than I'm looking for.
