This is almost a useful resource, but there are many bashisms on the list! Its utility is kind of limited for those of us who use a different shell when they don't have some sort of standardized "this only works in bash" warning.
- chimeracoder 15y agoI have the opposite complaint: I'm using bash, but thinks like mtr aren't part of coreutils, so I think of them as just separate programs that happen to work at the command-line. I could just as easily list ttyter as a command-line 'tool' for tweeting from the command line. I don't really have a solution to this, because at the end of the day, the goal is to do more things at the command line, but it'd be nice to have a way to distinguish between features of the shell, features of the OS, and non-OS programs that have command-line interfaces. Even if I'm interested in all three, it's nice to know that 'sudo !!' can be expected to work machines than mtr, for example.
