Why not just use StackOverflow? – Wikis Jul 15 '10 at 17:37

Would this not almost all be covered by the UNIX/Linux stack exchange site currently in beta? I don't see the value of excluding general UNIX/linux discussion – Cian Aug 10 '10 at 21:59

	This question makes it look like Shell-Hacking should be a tag on SO, rather than showing it belongs as a separate site. A better example would be a question which has not been answered on SO, for a long time, or which was answered with the wrong answer on SO – blueberryfields Jan 31 '11 at 3:29

	Should we distinguish between a CLI scripting language and something like PHP, which is mostly a web-scripting language, but is sometimes used on the CLI as well (Cacti.net calls a command-line poller using Cron, for example). – Stefan Lasiewski Jun 30 '10 at 22:03
	Yes preferably CLI, it might be web side but that must be via shell! – hemanth.hm Jul 1 '10 at 3:51

	I think this would be off-topic as the site is designated as shell hackers. I think the good counterpart would be something along the lines of "how do I enable XScreensaver from the command line?" – Wayne Werner Jun 28 '10 at 1:40
	belongs on superuser/serverfault – Anand Jeyahar Aug 18 '11 at 5:44

Good one. It sort of looks like command line (eh, it's a .bat file), but it's windows-oriented, focused on a config script, and ok, it's vague. Maybe it shouldn't be that vague to make a better off-topic example? – Barthelemy Oct 6 '10 at 11:04
