Ssh

Isn't ssh used more commonly than rlogin these days? Would probably be worth adding if so. Hairy Dude 12:25, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

ssh redirects to Secure Shell, and that article describes the protocol, not the Unix command. --tyomitch 04:25, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
Should we add a page for information about the unix command? Like Ssh (Unix)? ~a (usertalkcontribs) 22:55, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

The template needs editing

I'm about to rearrange the template a little: currently it's just too big and clumsy and unwieldy. In particular, I'm going to remove all the red links: they are fine in an article like List of Unix programs, but not in a nav template. --tyomitch 14:33, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Done. The template is 3/4 its former height now. --tyomitch 04:25, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
How about if it were formatted as in the example below? Then it would be even more compact. — RJH (talk) 15:57, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
Unix command line programs (more) Template:Tnavbar-plain-nodiv
File and file system management
cat | chdir/cd | chmod | chown | chgrp | cp | du | df | file | fsck | ln | ls | lsof | mkdir | more | mount | mv | pwd | rcp | rm | rmdir | split | touch | tree
Process management
anacron | at | chroot | cron/crontab | kill | nice | ps | sleep | screen | time | timex | top | renice | wait

The template is non-unixy

This template is the bulkiest and offensive template I've seen. It's design insults the simplistic design philosophy of Unix. Simply linking to List of Unix programs and maintaining Category:Unix software seems more than adequate. --71.254.7.215 06:41, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Lists and categories are not navigational aids. And if you think its so bad, why dont you try to improve it? --larsinio (poke) 15:13, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Wall command

In which unix command category should wall be included? Temporarily I have added it to misc !

It would, I think, be under the same category as write. I moved it. grendel|khan 12:20, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
