rebus - What famous line does this Linux command line represent?


The following shows a Linux command line with a # prompt:


#





echo -e 'AAAAHHH!!!\a' > /dev/null




#

It represents a famous line from a work of fiction. What line is that?



Answer



The answer is




"In space no one can hear you scream." The tagline for the Alien movie.



echo -e 'AAAAHHH!!!\a'


This is a scream. (Added bonus of \a telling the system to beep.)



> /dev/null



This redirects the output to the null device, effectively muting it.

Space!
