That's an amusing anecdote, though I find it bothersome the sysadmin failed to correctly implement the echo command

[DonHopkins]

I find it bothersome that the "yes" command outputs "y" by default instead of "yes". False advertising! Since Unix loves short concise command names, why not just name it "y"?

It does so you can pipe to commands that want a string of "press y/N" sort of things.

If you want yes write `yes yes`. And one character commands are almost generally avoided. So don't name it "y".

[DonHopkins]

    $ y not
    not
    not
    not
    not
    not
    not
    not
    not
    ...

I think it was just a joke from parent, not a legitimate question.
