Yes, of course. However, if you have scripts doing simple things, the tool is still there if you wish, no need to change scripts. Gosh, openSUSE only changed the name of the package, they did not prohibit people using it or something. It is just not installed by default anymore. The decision is up to the admin, no need to get hysterical about it :-) And yes, there were very good reasons to do this. -- Cheers, Carlos E.R. ES🇪🇸, EU🇪🇺;
