I’m cleaning up and modernizing my .bashrc, which has shockingly grown to 870 lines of mostly old crap over 15 years or so. Amongst a plethora of nostalgia inspiring pieces I came across this one:

case $HOSTTYPE in
        NeXT) stty -extproc crtbs crterase ctlecho;;
        sgi) stty dec; stty swtch '^Z' erase '^h';;
esac

Ah, my good old NeXT and Indy workstations.

And I remember these trying times too:

ulimit -c 0 2>/dev/null || echo "HP-UX sucks" #don't generate core dumps
