On Unix/Linux, there is very little stopping the superuser from introducing new and inventive kinds of breakage, such as in this case. This one is just a little more amusing than most. But seriously, if root wants to install a new command called df and have it higher up in the PATH than the standard utility, why should the OS argue?
- oelmekki 9y agoNote that the OS doesn't argue :) But actually, it would be cool to have some kind of warning, like a POSIX linter that warns the user something broke the standard, and they can decide to ignore it and never hear about it again. I'm not a big fan of linters, usually, but it would make sense for end users tweaking their system.
