If you're going to insist on using "ls" you should consider "ls -d".
Personally, I'd still go for this construct:

I have a tree of directories from which I would like to recursively dig

Does anyone have any elegant suggestions on how to do this?

The '-print0' of 'find' and the '-0' of 'xargs' (those are the number

I'm trying to write a script to change spaces in a filename to the underscore
character:
#!/bin/sh
for i in *; do
if test -f $i; then
mv $i `echo $i | tr '" "' '_'`
fi
done
When run, it gives me the error "too many args in line four."
How can I fix this?
Thanks,
Jeff Elk
I got a lot of responses that I will experiment with. I tried 'echo -e'
and that worked well.
Thanks for all the responses

Hello
I saw a script question posted so I hope someone can help me
on this simple, I believe, question.
I’m writing a script where people have to input a
number, is there a way to keep the curser on the same line as the question?
I tried using ‘\c’ but that doesn’t work.
Any help

I use the following procmail script to make festival speak the FROM and SUBJECT
headings of new email through my speakers:
SUBJECT=`formail -xSubject: \

I would pipe the contents of echo to a shell script. In that
script you could test for xmms with something like the
following:
#!/bin/bash
xmms=`ps -ef | grep xmms | grep -v grep`
if [ "X$xmms" = "X" ]; then
# xmms not running
echo "$* | festival --tts"
else
I use the following procmail script to make festival speak the FROM and SUBJECT
headings of new email through my speakers:
SUBJECT=`formail -xSubject: \
| expand | sed -e 's/^[ ]*//g' -e 's/[ ]*$//g'`
SENDER=`formail -xFrom: \
| expand | sed -e 's/^[ ]*//g' -e 's/[ ]*$//g'`

Hi Kieren,
One thing I have done that works pretty well for me is to turn 'demand'
on in pppconfig. The pon command then allows the pppd call provider to
be waiting in the background for any app requesting information from
the outside. The connection to my isp is automatic when I issue a

My computer connects to the internet with the following dialup script
at the moment:
pon
sleep 45s
fetchmail
I would like to get rid of the line sleep 45s and replace it with a
command that starts up the fetchmail process once pon has successfully
negotiated a connection to the internet (my unde
