What is Funny commands in Linux ?
When working on a linux server, the command line shell is the only interface to work with, most of the time. But the terminal is also very textish and a bit non-interesting at time.
The linux terminal is not always dull and boring. There are commands to make it do some funny acts to entertain the user.
Here are some examples :
- Cowsay command :The cowsay command draws out little animals using ascii art in the terminal or shell. It is not very graphical but does a nice job at the drawing.
$ sudo apt install cowsay [On Debian/Ubuntu & Mint]
$ sudo yum install cowsay [On CentOS/RHEL 7]
$ sudo dnf install cowsay [On CentOS/RHEL 8 & Fedora]
$ sudo pacman -S cowsay [On Arch Linux]
$ sudo pkg_add -v cowsay [On FreeBSD]
2. sl — Steam Locomotive: With the sl command, a steam locomotive will run across your terminal from right to left. And it looks like this
$ sudo apt install sl [On Debian/Ubuntu & Mint]
$ sudo yum install sl [On CentOS/RHEL 7]
$ sudo dnf install sl [On CentOS/RHEL 8 & Fedora]
$ sudo pacman -S sl [On Arch Linux]
$ sudo pkg_add -v sl [On FreeBSD]
3. figlet — draw banners :The figlet command can be used to draw large sized text banners.
4. telnet commad : No! No!! it is not as much complex as it seems. You would be familiar with telnet. Telnet is a text-oriented bidirectional network protocol over a network. Here is nothing to be installed. What you should have is a Linux box and a working Internet.
$ telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl
5. yes command : It is funny but useful as well, especially in scripts and for System Administrators where an automated predefined response can be passed to the terminal or generated.
$ yes I Love Linux
Thank You !!!!
