LoonShia posted:What does it do? Complain about a syntax error because of the capitalisation, and that he's used square brackets to create a list. Fixed and rendered more readably this would be: code:/bin/bash -c '...' means run the commands in the quoted text in a subshell. The nohup before it means that you don't close the program when you close your terminal. The & at the end means run it in the background, which isn't strictly necessary, it just means you can use your terminal for something else in the mean-time. words=( ... ) means create an array containing that data, which is later used to look up a random entry. [ 1 = 1 ] is a stupid way of defining a command that does nothing except exit successfully, which you could replace with the word true. You need a command that always exits successfully so that you can do an infinite loop, which is what the while [ 1 = 1 ]; do ... done does. "${WORDS[$( $(( RANDOM % ${#WORDS[@]} )) )]}" is a real pain to break down, I'll go inside out. ${#WORDS[@]} means get the length of the words array. You use ${WORDS[@]} to get the whole array, and put a # before the array name to say that you want the length instead. I took some liberties in the translation. Next up is the $(( RANDOM % array_length )), which was literally $[ RANDOM % array_length ] in the example, but it's recommended to use $(( )) instead of $[ ] these days. What it does is to get a random number, by way of the magic $RANDOM variable, then use modulo arithmetic (%, think of it like the remainder after division) to get a random number in the range 0..(array_length -1) This is used to get a random entry from the array by way of the subscript operator again. You previously saw ${WORDS[@]}, which gets you the whole array, but instead of the @ symbol, you can put a number, which gives you that entry in the array, starting from 0. The random sentence is passed to the say command, which I assume speaks the words out. -v whisper presumably makes it speak it out as a whisper, and -R 1.5 makes it slow the speech down by a factor of 1.5. The sleep 30 command makes it wait for 30 seconds before continuing. The result being it speaks out a creepy phrase on your speakers every 30 seconds. I'd expect that an Apple Genius wouldn't understand it, probably attempting to turn it off and on again, which would fix this, because they haven't put the command somewhere that would make it be run on start-up. If they did think to see what commands are running, I doubt they would be able to decipher exactly what's going on, since to decipher that shell script you need to be a Unix beard.
