Actually I would go one step further and install scripts instead of the old commands explaining the new usage - not calling the new commands, but explaining them. And I wouldn't be surprised if other distributions already have them ;)

E.g. make use of 'command-not-found' / 'cnf' in bash to give a useful output.
Apropos scripts, 'ifconfig' without parameters was a nice and fast way to see all the interfaces and their config in a reliable and human readable way. It will be the command I'll miss the most.
For most purposes, "ip addr" does the same, I'm only missing the packet and error counters.
Those stats can be queried with: "ip -s link show", still, it was nice to have a tool that answered most of the relevant questions about networking on a machine in one call in a readable at a glance way. The output from "ip" can be better machine - parsed, but for humans? Sorry, no gold, not even bronze for "ip", "ifconfig" was / is much more readable. - Yamaban -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
