@ttscoff @stuartcw …I think even back then it was mostly used for taping over the occasional cracks of uncooperative commands.

@ttscoff @stuartcw I have vague recollections of using it for unflaggable commands like maybe “yes | pkunzip foo” back in the early 1990s.

@ttscoff I seem to remember it being more useful in the olden days when more things asked for confirmation and didn’t take a flag to force.

@ttscoff Oh! This may be one of those commands I’ve known about for twenty years that I just assumed everyone else had tripped over too!

@ttscoff You didn’t know about the GNU version, or ‘yes’ in general?

@robjmills @petedrinks @BoakandBailey Perhaps not new or crazy, but I may still take some convincing that it’s a good idea :)
