Naming Bash scripts - Divisions by zero
lemmy.dbzer0.com
I have a couple bash scripts that I’ve written and been using but some need a rename, and once I came across an online list of shell scripts that you could compare against to make sure your name isn’t already “taken” by something that someone could have installed to minimize the chance of conflicts with scripts/aliases. I can’t for the life of me find that site right now and have no clue what I’d search to find it, would any of you happen to know such a site?

I’m crossposting this here

A) So I can see if I know how to cross post lol

B) To bring attention to the !linux4noobs@lemmy.world community here, as it it woefully small and could use some publicity, especially to those who can help more than the noobs seeking it out

C) Hopefully get the answer I seek.

…did the crosspost work?

    If you’re using a Debian based distro, you can search through contents of packages to see if there’s a conflict:

    E.g. apt-file search /usr/bin/sh

      This is the first time I see dnf provides par, let me check on ubuntu server…

      EDIT: ugh, it isn’t a good as dnf version, but manageable… thanks… at least this ease the search of a file/lib/binary location…
