$1 is the first parm with bash. For simple scripts, see the files in /etc/init.d for an example. Though I don't know of a good DOS batch to shell script tutorial, there are a good bit of docs on general scripting. Do a search of the web and you'll no doubt turn up some info (and of course there are tons of texts on the topic). -- Regards, | <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | Upgrade your old legacy . | <http://www.golgotha.net> | WindowsNT machines to Linux!
