I assume that there is some set of variables I can look at to find various
attributes of A.txt, so that $APerm = permissions(A.txt) or something, so
I can do chmod $APerm B.txt in step 5.

Greetings,
I have a shell script which duplicates a file and then renames the
duplicate file; the trick is that the duplicate file needs to have the
same permissions as the original file. For example:
1. Open file A.txt
2. Manipulate A.txt
3. Save A.txt as A.txt.tmp
4. Rename A.txt.tmp t
Once I got out of the mindset of having to use a bash shell script for the
task (thanks to a couple of people of this list for the suggestion), I
came up with this script that does the trick (specific IP address and
directory structure stuff changed to protect the innocent):
#!/usr/local/bin/perl

small corrections, the "<" symbol is not needed, awk can read
directly from a file too.
if you want to sort it, it is easier if month is converted to
its numeric equivalent1 to 12 and print a string like:
mmddhhmmss
the following script does that on a test string.

Hi Ryan:
I believe I have some link at the office. I will try and remember
to forward them to you on Monday.
In the interim, take a look at the awk command. This will allow
you to reformat the input lines (as well as many other things).

I'm just learning how to write shell scripts, and I'd like to find example

in this respect.

I've been using Linux for about three years now and haven't really explored much

I am trying to combine a few commands to download and update
rpm packages automatically. Now, I know I can use autorpm and
a few other packages to do this, but I would like to use this
as a learning opportunity.
So far I am using wget to get the list of updates and sed and

find there is a lot nicer

I got several replies, and thanks everyone !:)
Are there any other \ functions I should know about? I already use
\ to 'ignore' certain characters @'s and such.. any other useful ones? :)

Hey,
Try this:
---cut here
#!/bin/sh
echo "hello\c"
echo "\t\c"
echo "there"
echo "\n"
---cut here
The \t echoes a tab character; the \c supresses the newline that would
otherwise be added.
Hope that helps...

I'm trying to write a shell script that will automatically let me modify
the mail settings for sendmail.cf without having to go into the file and
do it.
I need a way to force it to echo a "tab" command, but I can't seem to find
a way to do that. I got one mention that I should try using a prinf
