Which Linux command or utility is simple, powerful, and surprisingly unknown to many people or used less often?
This could be a command or a piece of software or an application.
For example I’m surprised to find that many people are unaware of Caddy, a very simple web server that can make setting up a reverse proxy incredibly easy.
Another example is fzf. Many people overlook this, a fast command-line fuzzy finder. It’s versatile for searching files, directories, or even shell history with minimal effort.
We install
dnf
on our AIX boxes. Works okayish.I tried grabbing it and couldn’t even get it to install. If you have a link to a good install…
I can’t find the docs I followed, but this seems to be more or less the same process: https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/6585774
There are version-specific AIX Toolbox installation scripts, so make sure you’ve got the right version (
oslevel
should help).I think the version issues blocked me. I’ve put the toolbox on some of our test systems but dnf seems to be excluded from it. I’d probably have to build it.
