Your script itself looks pretty cool... but it is kind of re-inventing the
wheel a little bit. Conceptually it does almost exactly the same thing as
RCS control does.
Instead of...
mkdir /etc/rc.d/_edit_
cp /etc/rc.d/rc.local /etc/rc.d/_edit_
Edit the copy of rc.local in the Edit Directory.
Execute this script (fupdate) and select rc.local as a file to update.
... you might do...
cd /etc/rc.d
mkdir RCS
co -u rc.local
... and enter a description for the file where prompted.
co -l rc.local
edit rc.local
ci -u rc.local
... and enter a description for the changes where prompted.
I don't know if you knew about that or not. Perhaps you wrote your script
as a mental exercise in which case more power too you.. carry on. :)
Otherwrise you might want to chech out the rcsintro(1) man page - it's very
cool and having multiple revisious of my config files has saved me often.
Cheers,
M.
