I want you to give me a command. Who am I and what command would that be?

You are a ksh instance running with a controlling terminal, see below, and the commands are too numerous to list.

I must admit that, though I am an alien, I am not a programmer, not in the slightest. I just press one button to engage my UFO that flies by itself. Smart aliens too will be obsolete soon and there will be plenty of empty UFO's which will develop a high AI and render us obsolete.
Still, I am more than sure that you got the idea, yet, being a moron when it comes to programming, and I prefer riddles, I am not so sure you got the expected answer as well. If you had to pick one command, what command would that be, which, of course, concerns this riddle (which can be solved w/o knowledge that concerns computer programming)?

What the hell. You win. This tech stuff is way out of my league. I give up.

I'd say it depends:
if we treat you as a riddle maker then
it could be create! and
if you treat us as riddle solvers then
it could be solve!
(hm, or is it the other way around?)

I had something else on my mind, perhaps a bit silly. Forget about it. Or, if you still want to figure it out, perhaps Denethor will assist you: "Abandon your posts! Flee, flee for your lives!"

Perhaps Denethor & rloginunix's program are both waiting on Gandalf's instruction to run.
Or was that fly?

What made your reply possible? What final button/command? Must I say more? Haven't I said enough even though I know nothing about programming? (yet, long ago, I dared to dabble a bit in QBasic. Ahem.)

You are a waiter, waiting my order. For me it will be coffee with milk and sugar.
PS: and to the question "would you like fries with that", yes please!

Grimbal, you always expand my horizons, even more so than the great expanse.
