Once upon a time, Reindl Harald <h.reindl(a)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.
