Hello! If anyone knows of any good places to look for information on sh or csh scripts in FreeBSD I would greatly appreciate it. What I am trying to do is make a small script that will scan all the mail files in /var/mail for the keywords listed in a file, then if it finds any of those keywords, to move the mail file that it was in to a seperate directory (like /tmp/review), and copy a stock letter in it's place. It would need to run indefinatly in a constant loop. So far I have gotten far enough to search the mail files for the keywords using grep, however I don't know how to use IF correctly to see if grep actually found anything. If have checked all the manpages for info on csh and sh, but they where uninformative to say the least. P.S. This is for my high school. Thank you, Jesse Brown (bextreme@sprynet.com)
