Command Not Found
Submitted by srlinuxx on Tue, 03/20/2007 - 10:43.
If you type a command on Linux that doesn't exist, normally you get this:-
alan@bishop:~$ mplayer
-bash: mplayer: command not found
With the package command-not-found installed (which is by default installed as of Ubuntu 7.04 [Feisty] [due out in April]) you get something like this:-
alan@tigger:~$ mplayer
The program 'mplayer' can be found in the following packages:
* mplayer-nogui
* mplayer
Try: sudo apt-get install
-bash: mplayer: command not found
How cool is that!?

re: Command not found
But will it tell me where I left my car keys?
Do people (even Ubuntu users) type in commands for app's that aren't installed all that often to make this useful?
Of course, heathen unbeliever!
alan@tigger:~$ carkeysThe object 'carkeys' can be found in the following places:
* under couch cushion
* in ex-wife's wallet
Try: sudo apt-get install tracker
Make sure you have the 'contact lenses' object enabled
-bash: carkeys: command not found
(Resistance is futile. You will be Ubuntilated.)

"Ubuntilated" - and my english lexicon grows by one today!
Linux commands no longer on all terminals
Not strange, because of ash, bash versions and what not.
Wish you could have a list of commands that is supported by your terminal? Some one has to make a table, instead of giving you all the negative answers.
Many different operating systems use /? to list all the commands and their options.
