I propose a new forum game:

Most of us may use an unix system daily, and use the same commands over and again. For <code>ls</code>, I expect a list of directories and files, for <code>uname -A</code>, I expect some detailled name of the system.

I propose this: post commands, running them against an imaginary UNIX system, and imagine the output ourself. Just like a role-play where each would write in turn:

1. the output of the previous command.
2. the next command to execute.

Very simple example: Just after logging in:

<hr/>
Post 1

Code:
$ pwd

<hr/>
Post 2

Code:
Linux
Code:
$ pwd

<hr/>
Post 3

Code:
/z/j/o/strawberries
Code:
$ tac .bash_history | sed 10q

<hr/>

And so on and so on...

It should be rather easy at first, as we can "cheat" and have a look at our own system, but even if we do that, we may all have different systems in different states, and the challenge would then be to keep cohesion and keep the state of the system in mind.


(Optional roleplay) Wrote:At the end of the day, no more work ahead, I came to next street coffe before coming home, waiting for my friend to join me here in about an hour. That was a rather old place, with a lot of things stacked in all corners, a glittering light caught my eyes. It was the blinking carret of a screen: a terminal. Why would it be there? I had to check. No one seemed to pay attention, so I came and grabbed the keyboard. Nothing on screen, but the mere prompt:

Code:
$

P.S.: I have no prefered formatting, as long as it is readable and that we have fun!
Edit: It still would be better to tell whih command we are reffering to, to keep track of what is done.
