If you don't mind polling or there being a delay then you could run a script like this:
# Poll every 30 seconds RDRS=`vmur list | grep <optional filtering>` while [ -z "${RDRS}" ] do sleep 30s RDRS=`vmur list | grep <optional filtering>` done RDR=($RDRS) # ${RDR[n]} contains the results - you could then extract ids ORDER="" for (( i=0; i<${#RDR[@]}; i++ )) do FILE=`echo "${RDR[$i]} | awk '{print $2}'"\` ORDER="${ORDER} ${FILE}" done ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www2.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
