I'm in favor of the rtfm script. It's amazing the positive things that come out of an offhand IRC comment. [ from http://www.emsphone.com/FreeBSD/log.cgi/19990704.txt ] [15:29] <billf> tribune: yes, RTFM. [15:29] <billf> we need rtfm(1) [15:30] <billf> rtfm(1) would search the man pages, FAQ, and handbook for the COMPLETLY clueless. [15:31] <cmc> billf: that rtfm command, I might write one. maybe it'll get people to shut the hell up ;) [15:32] <cmc> It'd be easy to do in Perl. [15:32] <billf> cmc: I'd import it for you. [15:32] <sysctl> rtfm would work good.. in perl even [15:32] <sysctl> have it translate between "rtfm subject" and "rtfm subject(1)" [15:33] <cmc> First it'll search the man pages. Then the handbook. Then the FAQ. Then, maybe see if I can find out if they start bitching, and if so, email Jesus Monroy. At that point the converstaion turned to talking about Irish soap carving and the fact that www.OpenBSD.org doesn't run OpenBSD. I guess I was wrong about IRC being positive. - bill fumerola - billf@chc-chimes.com - BF1560 - computer horizons corp - - ph:(800) 252-2421 - bfumerol@computerhorizons.com - billf@FreeBSD.org - To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
