I'm not asking you to do anything with this but I suppose you should know (if you didn't) that sudosh was already used by some projects earlier. The original project was: https://sourceforge.net/projects/sudosh/ Looks like it was picked up by commercial company and some forks established then: https://github.com/squash/sudosh2 https://github.com/asquelt/eas

I'm just letting you know. Owners may ask you to change your project name eventually. Well, a new name could be simple gosudosh ;)

@timp87: thanks for voicing your concern. When I'd originally surveyed the other projects out there, they all looked abandoned (including the links above) which is also why we wrote our own.

My bias is that if a project chooses to use a very generic name like "logstorage" (log + storage), there can't be a moral claim of ownership. As such, "sudosh" is just the combination of "sudo" and "sh" and that's literally all it does: call sudo and run sh.

Also the name may simply confuse users
