Scrutinizer - sysadmins do put two or three commands together on the fly. I do. Pipe this command into this other command and then sort the output. That is essentially what the -exec predicate does for the find command.
Scripts coded as giant one-liners are out of bounds. Period. rbatte1 covers why really well.
I thought we were discussing the massive one-liners we see here a lot. We seem to want to define good and bad one-liners here. So let's say one-liners in scripts meant to be part of production should not be written as "multi-blobs" of piped commands.

First of all, apologies to the admins for not reading the rules totally and missing the bit about ranting off about other OSs.
But that raises a question. Where do you go to have a good rant, to vent your disgust at various corporations and thier hideous behaviour?

4. What is on Your Mind?
Hi guys...
(Apologies for any typos etc...)
This is basically a rant.
I have been doing kids level projects and writing code to suit since around 1982, for the uProfessor, for the Sinclair Spectrum and later for the QL, IBM-XT in MS-DOS and after that for a 386DX40 up to Windows 95, until I... (3 Replies)

aa-exec
AA-EXEC(8) AppArmor AA-EXEC(8)
NAME
aa-exec - confine a program with the specified AppArmor profile
SYNOPSIS
aa-exec [options] [--] [<command> ...]
DESCRIPTION
aa-exec is used to launch a program confined by the specified profile and or namespace. If both a profile and namespace are specified
command will be confined by profile in the new policy namespace. If only a namespace is specified, the profile name of the current
confinement will be used. If neither a profile or namespace is specified command will be run using standard profile attachment (ie. as if
run without the aa-exec command).
If the arguments are to be pasted to the <command> being invoked by aa-exec then -- should be used to separate aa-exec arguments from the
command.
aa-exec -p profile1 -- ls -l
OPTIONS aa-exec accepts the following arguments:
-p PROFILE, --profile=PROFILE
confine <command> with PROFILE. If the PROFILE is not specified use the current profile name (likely unconfined).
-n NAMESPACE, --namespace=NAMESPACE
use profiles in NAMESPACE. This will result in confinement transitioning to using the new profile namespace.
-f FILE, --file=FILE
a file or directory containing profiles to load before confining the program.
-i, --immediate
transition to PROFILE before doing executing <command>. This subjects the running of <command> to the exec transition rules of the
current profile.
-v, --verbose
show commands being performed
-d, --debug
show commands and error codes
-- Signal the end of options and disables further option processing. Any arguments after the -- are treated as arguments of the command.
This is useful when passing arguments to the <command> being invoked by aa-exec.
