yeah, check it out, its a little script for lauching quake3 (urban terror mod). i got a bunch of computers behind a linksys router, so each user has to have a unique net_port. SUFFIX=$(($UID % 100)) if [ "$SUFFIX" -lt 10 ] ; then NETPORT=2790${SUFFIX} else NETPORT=279${SUFFIX} fi echo "Starting Urban Terror on netport ${NETPORT}." if [ -n "$DISPLAY" ] ; then /shared/games/quake3/quake3 +set fs_game q3ut2 +set net_port ${NETPORT} else startx -e /shared/games/quake3/quake3 +set fs_game q3ut2 +set net_port ${NETPORT} fi linux is so cool, i would have no idea how to do something like this in win32. thanks for the tips (David and Gordon), the script works great now. christopher _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
