I don’t know why, But I keep forgetting sudo !! exists lol. Also did not know about --edit and --group. This could be useful when I have to adapt some programs for sysfs.

Thanks for the feedback. Sometimes when posting about well-known commands, it’s a worry if it would be useful to a large audience.

I have also either forgotten or not aware of a lot of these command options. Good to know I’m not alone. I will continue this series.

Also, I am now suddenly online. Every day hopefully.
