XKCD Deploys Command Line Interface

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the it's-actually-better dept.

ipquickly was one of a large number of users to note that the best on-line comic has just got a little better with the addition of a command line interface. You can also sign the petition to make the CLI permanent.

      Flamewar time!

      guest@xkcd:/$ vi

      You should really use emacs.

      guest@xkcd:/$ emacs

      You should really use vim.

      guest@xkcd:/$ ed

      You are not a diety.

      guest@xkcd:/$ nano

      You should really use an editor.

      Even better:
        guest@xkcd:/$ whoami
        You are Richard Stallman.
      Also, a rather weird command execution:

      guest@xkcd:/$ kill

      Terminator deployed to 1984

      But,

      guest@xkcd:/$ kill 1

      Unrecognized command. Type "help" for assistance.

      Command parser definitely needs some work

      guest@xkcd:/$ sudo -i

      sudo: -i: command not found

      Also I demand, while, for, if and which.
