#POSIX Question Ive come up with, Ive only seen this when using #ssh. When I try to ssh to a machine it prompts me for a password but that output asking for a password doesnt seem to be able to get redirected. I tried redirecting both STDOUT and STDERR but it does still show up in my shell. I want to output that myself. Does anyone know how to do that?

I remember seeing a tool years ago to help you ensure that shell scripts would run using as wide a variety of POSIX shells as possible.

I've forgotten what it was.

Can someone remind me?

IDEs, UNIX, AND THE LEGACY WORKFLOW THAT NEVER WENT AWAY

Words of Wisdom are dispensed in the article

I have a workflow consisting of

screen
bash or one of
csh
ksh
zsh
vim or
vim.motif
function third(){ awk '{if (NR%3==0){print "\033[32m" $0 "\033[0m"} else{print}}'; }
function psgrep() { ps axuf | grep -v grep | grep "$@" -i --color=auto; }
function mkcd(){ [ ! -z "$1" ] && mkdir -p "$1" && cd "$_"; }
gcc
g++
asm
ln
go from golang
lsd
ncdu

These choices are deliberate. I want and demand the fastest programming ENV: which follow the UNIX principle & KISS

quotes

tl;dr*

Unix already solved many IDE problems decades ago using small cooperating tools instead of one large application.

bash
coreutils
less
tmux
nvialready form a complete and focused development environment for many Unix workflows.

The shell becomes the workspace, the terminal manages sessions, and the editor remains small and predictable

sources:

man sh(1)

man ls(1)

man coreutils(1)

man less(1)

man screen(1)

man tmux(1)

man vim(1)

It's funny that I didn't think to create this shell script until now:
https://codeberg.org/rldane/scripts/src/branch/main/spongebob

I initially was trying to write it in #POSIX #shell without any external dependencies (for speed), but the lack of ${var^} and ${var,} mean HUGE case statements, but I could generate those in bash and paste them in, lol.

Then I came to the lack of ${var:i:1} for splitting variables, and I just kind of gave up.

I guess I could have munged some way of converting a string into an array somehow, but it was so much easier to just write it in 23 lines of bash. :P
