Well, actually most Unix commands are closely related to what they do.
Although I will admit they're not always easy to figure out.

e.g. grep = Generalised Regular EXpression and ls is short for list

There was a notable exception to this that is no longer in wide usage 'biff'
was a program to alert you about incoming mail (the author named it after
his dog who barked every time the postman came).

Hi all,

Yes 'eject' works a treat.  I would never have guessed it by myself, since
most commands are nothing like what they do - 'grep', 'ls'.

Thanks,
Randall.
