NoFAQ – A tool that corrects your console commands

I like that, in response to a name resolution failure in a ping command provided by the "See a random example" button, it suggested

    sudo rm -rf /*

Maybe a little curation might be of value here?

It seems like most people who are entering commands don't get what it's supposed to do, since most of the commands under "Help Fix Commands" are either malicious, don't have an associated error message, or both.

Also, it seems like it's being a little bit racist about what a "console command" is, because it won't let me suggest...

  (dir -rec).FullName

...as a fix for...

  PS C:\> dir /s/b

  dir : Cannot find path 'C:\s\b' because it does not exist.

That's definitely in the works. I'm working on a reporting/curating functionality for "fix-requested" commands as well as for suggested fixes. I'm hoping to push that to the live environment as soon as possible.

Indeed curation is required, as an example you forgot to include ..

    --no-preserve-root

;)

Using '/*' doesn't need --no-preserve-root. Only 'rm -rf /' needs it.

  sudo chmod -R a-x /

would work as is.
