Good night.

I've done this in the past, though without looking it up I couldn't tell you how. 🙂

I am a big believe in BASH. It's still my go to tool for most scripting in UNIX. It is everywhere, which makes a big difference. People used to use Perl because it was so ubiquitous. But on current systems it is Python that I see more commonly. Node.js, Ruby and Go are out there a lot too. The one thing that you can almost always count on is BASH. It's simple, it's standard and it is really fast to do simple things.

Thanks for the pointer. Something that I've wanted to look at but not known where to start 🙂

@Alexis Another reason I like single quotes for my strings, less escape confusion

There are many, many people int he IT community that vocally believe that open source is simply more secure because it is open source and that is simply not true.

As far as "all things being equal" is possible, I believe that this is true. The problem is is that most people then take that statement and use it to mean that "all" open source code is safer than "all" closed code even of two different projects which is completely senseless and has nothing to do with the situation.

It is if you took the same people and the same project and the same attempt over and over again one open and one closed that the open would win.

When choosing a process, you choose open for security.

Looks pretty interesting, will have to try that out. Session sharing can be super useful for UNIX.

Interesting approach. I would not have thought of looking at BASH that way. Thanks.

Did you watch the video? Looks really neat.

This is really neat, here's my favorite for Putty-people: https://puttytray.goeswhere.com/
