Quoting Renaud OLGIATI (ren...@olgiati-in-paraguay.org): > Or ln to /dev/null
I thought about that. cp or mv to /dev/null (as opposed to the ordinary cat or redirection to /dev/null) is IMO at best a bad habit, because one day you'll thoughtlessly do it with superuser authority, thereby overwriting the device node, creating some hilariously mysterious, but severe, system breakage. (These days with udev and workalikes thinking you're not allowed to manage /dev, it's possible this specific form of damage isn't allowed either, but it used to be one of the more perplexing ways to cripple a Linux system, and perhaps still is.) https://serverfault.com/questions/551628/dev-null-file-became-regular-file _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
