Synopsis

rr

The rr utility chooses five random executable from your $PATH and mix them with /bin/rm to simulate a revolving cylinder of six chambers. Another random selection is performed and the picked utility is executed with the arguments -rf $HOME. Beware that some of the utilities will complains about “invalid options”.

This script was implemented after a pun I read somewhere. This page will be updated if I ever found it the source again.

The random selection is performed using either jot(1), shuf(1) or a terrible internal system.
