God. I’m so glad we’re running Linux. I keep hearing about AIX, Solaris, etc and thinking “fuck it I’m I stalling shit from source all day if I have to use those”

When I'm in the mood to experience the brain damage that was early Unix (which linux has somewhat mitigated - not all short-sighted design decisions can be fixed without changing the design), I pull out my copy of the UNIX-HATERS Handbook. I get entertainment without the pain of direct exposure.

bahua128016yI used to administer Unix. I'm sorry to say that even though we had quarterly patching, we still had to write stupid shit like in the OP.

Yknow what the best part about Unix is? (Not Linux. Like old school Unix. AIX, HPUX, or in this specific case: Solaris)
It never needs to be updated. like ever. Even when new features are added 5 years ago to add features that GNU has had for literally decades. Updates are for the weak. Because why should I be able to type "netstat -natup" when instead you can enjoy several hours of developing the nightmare one-liner that is:
Pfiles /proc/* | awk '/^[0-9]/ {p=$0} /port/ {printf "%.4s %-30s %-8s %s\n", $1,$3,$5,p}' 2>/dev/null
Isn't that just so much more fun?!
Thanks guys. I'm going back to GNU now if you don't mind.
