It would be good practice to do so, when you are referring to a FQDN. Apart from that, to circumvent badly configured paywall filters?

You can use proc command in Tcl to replace existing commands and procedures, which gives you the possibility to implement different behaviour. An example that shows this: ~$ tclsh % rename while origwhile % proc while {args} {

It's likely the only way to stay sane in a corporate environment. The problem is, you don't need much people practicing that, before it drags everyone down to the same niveau. You can choose to try to continue your quest into doin

It got a lot worse since 'devops' came around, in my experience. As an example: people started getting increasingly pissed off when proprietary software (unpackaged, but usually with a shell installation script) couldn't get

They don't see that as part of their job. On the short term that behaviour probably doesn't create problems for them. On the long term, they likely will be responding to job adverts themselves :) Anyway, no answer is sometimes pre

A management fad called dev-ops is what went wrong, before you could count on your sysadmin to take care of that :) Apart from that, not everything always makes sense to use in production without a good level of understanding --- and might

Managers and C-levels surely have appetite for this. In the end it just degrades mostly to trial-and-error, which I'm sure is no problem because the people have to do the real work get sick of it and get replaced (sometimes voluntarily

Correct. Also, they won't give you that money if they know your motivation is the will to fix things. The money flows instead to the ones who have receiving more money as their motivation.

As Awk is a pattern-matching language, you can simplify it to something like this: ps aux |awk '/what/ {print "kill " $2}' This will give you a list of kill commands you can review, before piping to |sh

How does that work in practice? In order to page, you should find out if it is the code, and it is indeed broken. I'm guessing all tests passed, so that won't be of much help anymore neither... In reality, it would be a sysadmin
