Of course functions (or what bash developers call so...) are used but I don't believe that writing or bugfixing this kind of obviously non-trivial scripts that use (nested) functions will be the daily business of a Level-1-certified person. Most of those scripts are pretty stable, written and tested by some packagers and distribution developers who certainly do nothing else the whole day. Usually it is enough if you can read and somehow understand such a complex script which is hopefully well documented, maybe in order to make some minor changes and adoptions. For example taking the skeleton of a rc-script to "write" your own. > grep "^[:space:][a-zA-Z].*()" $(grep -l '^#!' /usr/bin/* > 2>/dev/null)|wc -l Nice job! :-) -- Gruß, Tobias. _______________________________________________ lpi-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://list.lpi.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lpi-discuss
