Many of us live and work on the Linux command line.
I’ve been living in that neighborhood since 1986. For most of that time, the command line commanded me. But eventually, I started commanding the command line.
In this article, I will share with you an example of commanding the command line. I’m going to take the command line by its shirt collar and shake it until it does what I want. The target of my aggression will be a TrueBlocks command line provided by one of our users. (Thanks Pintail.)
