Summary0002791: Linux - df script has same name as common unix/linux command
DescriptionHi, I'm not sure this is an actual bug yet, but it could possibly be an annoying one for the Linux version if you installed Dwarf Fortress to anywhere in the PATH environment variable.

Basically, the df script that calls the dwarf_fortress executable has the same name as df, an extremely useful command and part of the GNU tools.

[code]DF(1) User Commands DF(1)

NAME
       df - report file system disk space usage

SYNOPSIS
       df [OPTION]... [FILE]...[/code]

renaming the "df" script would avoid any complications. Maybe to dwarfort like the classic win executable?
Steps To Reproducenot a problem yet.
TagsNo tags attached.

There is no complication; only a madman would run with '.' in his path.

As long as you don't install DF in your $PATH, theres no problem there.
And you could always install it as longer-named symlink if you do.
