Nice idea! I would however suggest some refinements to the script.
Remember that this is just an additional idea, something for people to
chew on. The original scripts are quite ok as is.
Anyway, make an executable script named "sccutils" that has something like
this in it (untested!):
-------------- clip ---------------------
#!/bin/sh
CMDNAME=`basename $0`
case `uname -r` in
2.0.*) CMDVERSION=2.4c ;;
2.2.*) CMDVERSION=3.0 ;;
*) echo "sccutils: unsupported kernel version" ; exit 1 ;;
esac
${CMDNAME}-${CMDVERSION} $*
-------------- clip ---------------------
And then make sccinit, sccparam and sccstat symbolic links to the sccutils
script:
ln -s sccutils sccinit
ln -s sccutils sccparam
ln -s sccutils sccstat
