This one should be fun! All of the commands in this article are fictitious, however, based on popular commands that you might use every day.
I was recently on a virtual happy hour with members of the Red Hat Accelerators program. We were near the top of the hour and someone mentioned they were out of beer and needed a replacement. Then chat exploded with these commands:
From Hawain Dave - @dkalaluhi
# ansible -m beerMe.yml
From RJ - @theducktalks
# systemctl is-enabled beer.service > /dev/null || systemctl enable —now beer.service
# systemctl start beer.service
From Dave Yaffe - @str8edgedave
# dnf reinstall beer -y
# service beer reload
From Rick Greene - @SciFiRick
# cat beer > /dev/gullet
From Mark abiNadar
# yum update beer -y
Since we do not have comments set-up on the site yet, Tweet me @jhibbets your beer replacement commands with the hashtag #EnableSysadmin and I'll select a few of my favorites to add to this fun post.
Joerg Kastning - @JoergKastning
# wget brewery://beer.keg #EnableSysadmin
# scp -i my_id_rsa storage@brewery:~/beer /stomach/
