@Dragonmouth,

Thank you for your comment. The Tecmint staff may prefix sample commands with a hash mark (#) to indicate that they are meant to be run as root or with elevated privileges. This is a common convention in Linux documentation and tutorials.

Why does the Tecmint staff insist on prefixing all their sample command in all their articles with a hash mark (#)? Commands written in this way will be treated as comments by the Linux Operating System and never be executed.

In reply to Jeff Silverman. It is a bit out of date, sure, but these commands still work. traceroute is still usable, and pathping is ICMP, it is not the same underlying protocol as traceroute. It's always easy to criticize. The author might not be an authoritative person for Linux administration, maybe just someone sharing their thoughts
