ASTU most likely stands for AllSafeToolUser or AllSafeTerminalUser. The ASTSU version would replace User with Super User. Most likely their own version of sudo
ReplyDeletegrep is a real Linux command, too, of course...
ReplyDeleteI grep what your saying :-)
ReplyDeleteastu can be an alias of another linux command ?
ReplyDeleteyes
DeletePuede ser un alias de "open"?
Delete"astu" looks very much like "sudo"
ReplyDeletei think it's alias for sudo
DeleteNo it's not, he uses ls and rm as subprograms, so it might be a tool which all-safe created.
Deleteastu means Amen in Sanskrit
