Scripts needn't be written > in /bin/sh ... Actually, just to jump in and correct this, scripts *should* be written in /bin/sh. That's a defacto Unix standard when it comes to writing shell scripts, just for uniformities sake, and even if you use tcsh or zsh as your personal shell one is always encouraged to write in straight POSIX-conformant /bin/sh for portable scripts. If one also needs to walk entirely outside the painted lines there then that's a good indication that maybe it should be written in perl. :) - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
