Nov 20, 2017 at 15:52 comment added igal @EightBitTony Yeah, you're right. But apparently there's just something about this particular process that violates some aesthetic sensibility of mine.
Nov 20, 2017 at 15:48 comment added EightBitTony Traditionally, UNIX aspired to simple commands that did one thing and one thing well. You then tied those commands together in shell scripts or other constructs to achieve more complex stuff. So one approach, is to write a simple script that takes some parameters and executes the above commands to achieve your desired goal, resulting in a single command (the shell script - many apparently simple commands in UNIX are already shell scripts). I appreciate you're after an existing command, and hence this is a comment, and not an answer.
