Using alias for a more Trek-like sudo experience :D

Syndicated from the fediverse. Read and engage on the original instance.

gotta post this before I break anything with the upgrade :P (it probably won't, but better safe than sorry)

Oof, that comma physically hurts me

hopefully it doesn't put you in a comma

What about aliasing sudo to engage or write a whole function for it:

function engage() {
    echo -e "\033[1;36m[LCARS AUTHORIZATION: ACTIVATED]\033[0m"
    sudo "$@"
}

I'd put the sudo on echo too so it asks for password before echoing authorization(?)

Now how to change the authentication failure message to read, "That procedure is not recommended"?
