I'm not a programmer. Never was, probably never will be. I'm a sysadmin. Bourne is my go-to language for anything repetitive for two simple reasons: it's there, and it doesn't change. Every UNIX and Unixalike has Bourne shell. Every single one. And it works the same on all of them. A Bourne script written for Ultrix 3 works on Solaris 9 and RHEL 6 with maybe a slight tweak for different paths (SysV vs. BSD vs. LSB).
No other scripting language in the world meets those criteria. -- Rich P. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
