Not exactly what you asked for, but I've found "Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide" (or actually it's precursor) very usefull. You can find it at (e.g.): http://ftp.sunet.se/LDP/guides.html#abs I guess you can find docs for more than a lifetime of reading on the net. Remember, google is your friend:-) Best regards, Emil -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
