    41:30 it was worth watching for me, just for this. Great example of why 'cat' with shell piping isn't sufficient to write to a system file. But you also don't want to elevate the whole shell to root privileges because it's inconvenient (especially when scripting) and because then everything will be executed with root privileges. Now I understand why tee exists. Cheers.

    40:24 Please don't teach people "sudo su" (or the slightly less terrible "sudo su -"). In fact, don't teach people about "su" at all, other than to use it to install/fix "sudo" or as a history lesson. It certainly _works_, but you're telling the shell to do something twice, i.e. "run as root" (sudo) then "become the root user" (su).
    The thing you want is "sudo -i" or "initial login" (equivalent to "su -" and "sudo su -"), which tells sudo to start a shell *and* process the normal login scripts, e.g. .profile, .login, .bash_profile, etc.
    "Su"ing twice has a number of unexpected and irritating--though not insurmountable--side-effects for administrators (i.e. me, a linux admin for 20+ years), but it also causes trouble for an end-users since it strips their environment variables. "Sudo" handles this quite well (depending on your sudoers configuration), but "su" does not. This is problematic for things like preserving a non-root user's $SSH_AUTH_SOCK (maybe you want to use your ssh keys when you're root), or language preferences ($LANG), or $DISPLAY for GUI users, etc.

      In case you need a shell (to do more than a single command) you'd call: sudo bash
      That avoids the problems mentioned above.

    • @JasonSFuller
      @JasonSFuller 4 года назад +5

      @@mwat56 I'll politely disagree here. "sudo -i" does, in fact, give you a shell, AND it simulates a login the proper way. "sudo bash" suffers from the same environment problems as "sudo su"

    •  4 года назад +1

      Exactly. I was going to comment this, but you explained it much better than I could.

    • @aram535
      @aram535 3 года назад

      If you don't need to go through "login" then 'sudo -s' will also work and just start up a new environment rather than login then env. For example 'sudo -s' will drop you into a root shell and 'sudo -u foo -s' will drop you into a shell for user 'foo'. Again without the login (.profile & .login). I recommend using "sudo -c 'command'", "sudo -s" and "sudo -u foo -sH" (-H sets the homedir for the user as well).

    Just a note of added confusion:
    Apple replaced "bash" with "zsh" as the default shell in macOS Catalina
    While a number of Mac developers have already moved on to even more modern shells like Fish, zsh is more compatible with Bourne shell (sh) and mostly compatible with bash.

    Another not obvious thing: Inside the shell CTRL + C is cancel, not copy. The most useful trick noone tells you is hitting the up arrow offers you the latest command you entered, and you can scroll up as much as you want by hitting up arrow.

    Most of the stuff under /sys/class/ are indirect links to the directories that have the actual stuff. By default, find does not follow symlinks. If you search from /sys/, you'll probably find brightness under kernel, devices, and modules.
