Having quite a bit of success with bash, got first script to work, auto archives a backup every day and delete the oldest backup files if partition is >95% full ...Many thanks everyone, xmessage -file xxx seems to work, It seems to take the formatting from the file and not have a problem, strange it can't take it directly from "" however will remember this workaround.
Want to try something more adventurous however am stuck on something soooo simple, how do I generate a new line in xmessage
I got round it with echo echo -e "hello \n everybody"
However xmessage "hello \n everybody", takes it literally, all on one line
I checked man xmessage but there is no corresponding "-e" enabler
Any ideas ? Dave
