   GNU cp already has the --one-file-system option. Possibly mv might also benefit from this option to error out on EXDEV? Feel free to discuss these things on coreutils@gnu.org We try to be accomodating, and your suggestions here definitely h

   True, symlinks complicate things. We have to be careful about doing too much (adding edge cases and complexity), though in this case how about: canon_src = canonicalize(src); canon_dst = canonicalize(dst); int ret = rename(src

   There are large advantages to shelling out though. 1. Not reinventing the wheel 2. Implicit use of multiple cores Things could be improved I agree. For example posix_spawn() could be efficiently implemented on glibc to avoid kernel overhead

   It's also worth pointing out, since busybox was mentioned a few times, that the latest release of coreutils has the ./configure --enable-single-binary option to build as a multi-call binary linke busybox etc.

   A few data points on GNU coreutils. 1. It has a fairly good test suite, that rewrites should leverage. That can be easily done by setting $PATH to prepend the dir of the new tools, and running `make check` 2. To give an indication of the si

   That's a bug IMHO which I reported at http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2015-02/msg00052.... I've collated other mishandling of closed pipes at: http://www.pixelbeat.org&#x2

   The trailing /* is to delete the directory _contents_ rather than the dir itself. It would be safer to receate the dir as then you can possibly hit some of the inbuilt rm protections

   Note newer versions of coreutils will have links in the man pages directly to online manuals through http://www.gnu.org/s/coreutils/ls etc. BTW the coreutils man pages are a subset of the full manual, and I think

    I found an issue in cp that caused 350% extra mem usage for the original bug reporter, which fixing would have kept his working set at least within RAM. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/coreutils/2014-09&#x2F

    I see what you're saying, but then you'd have people complaining there was too much text in the man page. Note the info pages are available on the web so you could have a wrapper like: cinfo() { xdg-open "http:/&#x

    Note GNU coreutils has a good test suite which just calls out to the various tools from shell and perl scripts. It should be easy enough to run this implementation through it. More effort goes into the coreutils tests than the code. One of

    Well with coreutils like wc etc. you get low level control over such things, but with postgres there would be less flexibility. For illustration one could use GNU dd to take advantage of the page cache only for readahead purposes like:

    This gives RSS for a particular users' public tweets. I'd love a service to provide an RSS feed of my timeline (would require giving auth of course)

    It's cool to see static web sites becoming popular. As for comments (dynamic) you could integrate with discuss, or as I do wrote my own simple comments app for google app engine. Details here: http://www.pixelbeat.org/docs/web/feed.html
