Once upon a time, Reindl Harald h.reindl@thelounge.net said:
i say the same thing to the autopager and cutted output of systemctl and journalctl and the repsonse there is "we are not Unix, we are Linux"
Yeah, I dislike that as well. If I want paged output, I'll page it; if I want cut output, I'll cut it. The "helpful" options added to the $PAGER variable are really stupid as well; I have to set $SYSTEMD_PAGER as well as $PAGER, just to override systemd's "help".
following your argumentation this should be removed too?
[root@honeypot:~]$ rm -rf / rm: it is dangerous to operate recursively on `/' rm: use --no-preserve-root to override this failsafe
I didn't know that was there (not in the habit of running "rm -rf /" just to see what happens). I really can't think of a situation where "rm -rf /" would be useful, so I don't really care one way or the other about that one.
