Stay in the loop…

Follow the Tweets.

Every new command is wrapped in a tweet and posted to Twitter. Following the stream is a great way of staying abreast of the latest commands. For the more discerning, there are Twitter accounts for commands that get a minimum of 3 and 10 votes - that way only the great commands get tweeted.

What others think

ipconfig is a ms-dos command nor a linux one :(

Also, there isn't a /all parameter in ifconfig

Comment by jasvazquez 223 weeks and 4 days ago

Yep.

ifconfig

is all you need !

Comment by CodSpirit 223 weeks and 4 days ago

I don't see anywhere in the site that says the commands here are Linux-only. Do you?

Comment by atoponce 223 weeks and 3 days ago

windows commandline fu?

Comment by prayer 223 weeks and 3 days ago

This is for the Windows world, please try commands on Unix/Linux .

If you look at the titlebar:

Command-line Fu < The best UNIX commands on the web.

If you need to apply that for Linux:

ifconfig -a
Comment by luqmanux 223 weeks and 2 days ago

Funny. No version of *UNIX* I tested this on worked. I can only re-iterate that this is some gimpy windows command, and is not appropriate here.

Comment by ozymandias 223 weeks and 1 day ago

I suggest a firm but friendly installation of a nice linuxdist instead. So that one should not come up with "toy commands" on this fine web page.

what rubbish

Comment by sirlewk 214 weeks and 2 days ago

I don't see why people are having problems with this command, there is nothing wrong with it. This site is not JUST for *nix commands, this command is useful for those less enlightened folks.

From the FAQ:

Yes, most certainly. While there is undoubtedly a *nix bias to most commands on the site, that's simply a reflection of the greater prominence of the command-line in such operating systems. Don't worry though: all shell types and operating systems are welcome here - the sole criterion is that the command is 140 characters or less.

Comment by Chartreuse 162 weeks and 2 days ago

What? Linux now has the CMD.EXE thing, too? Why do they have to copy everything?
