Hehe, well if we're going here there are various go-to shell commands / filenames / hostnames I inevitably end up using at some point just for the wry smile:
$ PONG=1.1.1.1; ping $PONG
$ more cowbell
$ cat dog | tee hee
And my favourite choice of empty file:
$ touch me
Also I was fairly please years ago when I briefly re-aliased cd to something that could do "the right thing" (TM):
$ cd ...
$ cd ..../src/
etc..
- mkl 6y ago"cd ..." etc. worked in 4DOS, an alternative (and extended) DOS shell: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4DOS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4DOS.
- stevage 6y agoI think it was standard DOS, from maybe DOS 5 upwards?
- mkl 6y agoI was thinking it worked in MS DOS after some point, but I was remembering more like Windows 95 era. I don't think it worked in MS DOS 6.x, because IIRC that's when I was using 4DOS. However, it doesn't work in Windows 10 CMD.EXE.
- murph-almighty 6y agoI wrote a generic bash function to spin up a mongodb instance called `mongo`. I couldn't resist adding `echo "Mongo only pawn in game of life"`
- jkingsbery 6y agoYou would get bonus points if you wrapped the mongodb process so that when it receives a SIGKILL it logs out "Mongo like candy!"
- nocman 6y agoLOL - thanks for sharing this. Especially "$ more cowbell". I am SO gonna steal that. :-D
