[arch-general] Arch Forum problem
if you try to register https://bbs.archlinux.org/register.php it has a anti-spam question. that fails on both cent and arch cent: [x@x /]$ date -u +%V$(uname)|sha256sum|sed 's/\W//g
^C [x@x /]$
arch: [root@alarmpi ~]# echo date -u +%V$(uname)|sha256sum|sed 's/\W//g
[root@alarmpi ~]# date -u +%V$(uname)|sha256sum|sed 's/\W//g
[root@alarmpi ~]# ... also the post i'm asking about (and was willing to register to the arch forum) https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=183086 someone did a RTFM response and the wiki/manual page person reference doesn't have a straight answer and please don't complain about it being an old post, i'm trying to help you guys, as that post comes up in google first page and with fairly board google searches. so a proper answer would help other potential Arch users.

I believe it is missing a ' in the end of the string, after letter g.

I can't blame much on the end-user, as the question in the Register form has a tricky " next to ' ... See below: What is the output of "date -u +%V$(uname)|sha256sum|sed 's/\W//g'"? Rafael

Maybe *that's* the anti-spam measure :p Maybe it's a tricky " but anyone should be able to tell simply by looking at it that that is an unbalanced quote. Both from the command string and from the result -- showing the ">" (PS2) is an obvious sign of a badly typed command. Or the OP could have searched and found the following stackechange answer: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/172570/why-does-bash-display-instea... CTRL+D would complete the command (rather than killing it offhand) -- and warn the user: bash: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `'' Which also should be more than clear enough. All good signs to take a closer look at the question. -- Eli Schwartz

That's Arch Linux ARM, a different distro: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Forum_etiquette#Arch_Linux_distribution... https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=153431
