If you were an Unix / FreeBSD tool, what tool would you be ?

[ZioMario]

As a human individual I do not want to be a tool.
I do not want to be used as a tool.
I do not even want to think that I could be any tool.

man,no one wants use you or see you as a tool. The mechanism invoked here is called "mirroring". The point is to understand which tool of Unix is able, more than any other, to mirror a side of your personality. Even the opposite is true : which side of your character is mirrored by a specific unix tool. It's only a funny game.

Isn't it enough to ask what UNIX tools you like to use or create?

The continuation of the inspiration:

As a human individual I do not want to be a commodity.
I do not want to be used as a resource.
I do not even want to think of human resources.

I will print out posters of these and hang them on my walls with the Wikipedia links fully expanded. Thanks getopt!

For the record, I did not say this without quoting, and would never plagiarize someone else's art.

Hello :

I wanna re-propose here this funny topic :

https://www.reddit.com/r/unix/comments/192g8lx/if_you_were_an_unix_tool_what_tool_would_you_be/?sort=new

would be nice to read your answers. Thanks.

zfs(8) - Way more capable than anything else, but sometimes, you gotta realize the applicability of ZFS to the situation before implementing a ZFS-based solution.

BTW, I like this kind of humor ?

How does that square with figuring out a number that is considered a fair wage to pay for the efforts? Maybe R. Esner can weigh in, too? ?

 

[getopt]

How does that square with figuring out a number ...

Isn't it more a qualitative aspect than a quantitative one?

Exactly. $1 wages for everyone.

Anyways, let's not get too off-topic, guys. I don't think the moderators like when that happens.

Or even worse: human capital.

I would have to be audio/rhythmbox, mainly just because I use it all the time and could not live without it. Although everything is starting to move to streaming and I am starting to use Apple Music more and more, I could not do without my massive collection of mp3 files that I have been accumulating since c. 2006, dragging it along to each new installation of Linux/BSD via external hard drives, etc... I use rhythmbox all the time, and I listen to music all the time, rhythmbox being my much preferred player over all those years.

busybox, netcat, ... Any swiss-army knife of something.

Funny question, well I think I would be find(1) because there is always a question popping in mind that needs an answer, and then the quest is on.
But I also would be test(1) because right after getting my answer I like to compare, check, and play with my new toy.
