Freebsd 9.1 RELEASE:
260k /sbin/ifconfig
My Arch box:
76K /usr/bin/ifconfig
I have to use linux for work, but he's right, keeping everything in ifconfig is much more close to the old school "unix" way than "lets play 20 commands" that seems to be present in most linux mindsets.
- ajross 13y agoThis may be the first time I've every heard the "old school unix way" defined as (heh) "packing all related functionality into one command". But use what you like. Just don't pretend that it's anything other than taste.
- mitchty 13y agoIts more keeping networking related things for interfaces in the InterFaceCONFIG command seems to be a more "one tool for the same thing" in my mind.
- GalacticDomin8r 13y ago> I admit I'm chuckling a little about the idea of udev not being "needed". If you're calling my tastes simple then guilty as charged.
- oscargrouch 13y agoold school? what about git? > git pull > git push > git clone or would you prefer a binary for each command: > git_pull > git_clone > git_push now, what really looks old school to you?
- mitchty 13y agoIts one command with subcommands for each sub function. What you're contorting is more akin to: ifconfig_wireless ifconfig_vlan ifconfig_foo Bit of a reach there.
