What a horrible name. I literally had to search for “aux nix” to find a Reddit post mentioning the URL. Every other search term combination was giving me results for ps aux.
Same. Short it nice, but it has to be unique and memorable too. Aux is an already existing word.

I vote for nunix, it’s the only one I’d remember easily.
Fornix sounds surprisingly sexual.
Agreed, I made a thread for it. You’ve got some good names!
Thanks for sharing them. Looking at the thread and the author’s responses, it doesn’t seem like he’s open to changing the name. Not sure if that’s off to a good start, but we’ll see…
Sounds like a human or pet name. Would be a good name a mascot, maybe 🤔
How did you come up with Stevie as a project name?
