- thanks to everybody who e-mailed me about my /bin/arch problem. i
- thought it was a rather dumb question when i sent it to c.o.l.,
- because it is so easy to write a script to "echo i386"...
-
- so, i want to apologise for my dumb question.
-
- nevertheless, i thought that "echoing stuff" like that isn't a very
- satisfactory way of doing things (even for "hackers").
- so i just wanted some better opinions.
-
- and i got one. somebody pointed out to me that "/usr/bin/uname -m"
- does exactly the same as /bin/arch does...
-
- so here's my /bin/arch for linux:
-
- ---cut here------cut here------cut here------cut here------cut here---
- # !/bin/sh
- /usr/bin/uname -m
- ---cut here------cut here------cut here------cut here------cut here---
-
- ";-)"
