Security commands in Linux systems

good morning community

Well I was looking for different commands to quickly view who has been logged to a device.
I saw 2 curious commands: who mum likes and who mum hates, I tried to find additional information for the last one but there is nothing clear. It seems it is quite unknown and there is a joke or mistery around that command, and a warning as well

So, does somebody know what output could pop out after hitting enter? that warning makes me feel tempted but I dont feel like installing linux again.

Hello @Daniel Céspedes,

The commands "who mum likes" and "who mum hates" are humorous or prank commands that don't have any meaningful output. They are not standard Linux or Unix commands, and using them will generally result in a message meant to entertain or confuse the user.

Best regards

Be careful ! Funny or Prank, Don't use them!  you never know what might happen when u do;  you could have enabled some malicious script hidden behind those "shortcut"  commands.
