yar 2007-10-27 18:18:58 UTC FreeBSD src repository Modified files: rescue/rescue Makefile Log: Add some essential tools to rescue(8) in order to make it a versatile emergency tool: o sed(1) as a multi-purpose text filter -- can do grep's job and much more. o head(1), tail(1), and tee(1) as idiomatic text filters. o mt(1) to control tape drives (PR misc/98383). o chown(8) aka chgrp(8) to complement the ch* subset. o pkill(1) aka pgrep(1) to control running processes easily and thus to be able to recover from a serious problem or a fatal typo in an otherwise live system w/o a reboot. (It also deserves adding to rescue(8) for its having triggered a latent bug in crunchgen(1), but we had better add a regression test for that. :-) The resulting change in rescue(8) size has the following order of magnitude on i386: 3787656 - 3727872 = 59784, i.e. just a tad. Discussed on: -hackers (I seem to have wearied all opponents :-) PR: misc/98383 Revision Changes Path 1.57 +10 -1 src/rescue/rescue/Makefile
