It is MY ORDER!

It's been a long time from my last post! But tonight I would like to treat MY ORDER!!!

Remembering Full Metal Jacket, I asked myself why I didn't ever give a my OWN order to Linux! And tonight I give an answer to myself!

Tonight I'm managing a Kali Linux virtual machine to work with Tor and Privoxy. Since always typing sudo /etc/init.d/tor start, sudo /etc/init.d/privoxy start, and relative stop is so annoyed, now we make a new own command for Linux OS, made like a simple script to manage the start and stop of tor and privoxy. Let's suppose that tor and privoxy are installed and configured as I described in THIS post,

LET'S START TO GIVE AN OWN ORDER TO LINUX

First, we need to create a bash script called anonymous by a text editor, for example:

• sudo gedit anonymous

The content of the script will be:

#!/bin/bash
#anonymous command lets you to connect using Tor and Privoxy. Ensure you are installed them. Ensure to configure the privoxy conf file.

Save the file. It is a simple demostration of bash script, so, if you prefer, you can improve this code.

Anyway, now it is a simple stupid file! We need to let it to transform in a Super Saiyan Linux Command, so we avoid to type source anonymous in the working directory to execute the program. So, to make it a TRUE command, we need to move this file in /usr/bin directory:

• sudo chmod +x anonymous
• sudo mv anonymous /usr/bin/

Now, in any directory, try to type anonymous command and you will see that it is a SUPER SAIYAN command! We can execute it in any directory like other Linux commands!

For tonight, I leave you with this image (since in Italian cinema will be released the last film of Dragon Ball Z: Fukkatsu no F *-*)

The philosophy is: if your hair always changes colour, you will be
