Thanks, bro, that did the job. You also get points for putting my name in the script :D Thanks also to Michael for his effort, even if it didn't work maybe because of the difference in Solaris usage of xargs. I suppose I could read the xargs man page and look for the counterpart of --xmaxlines=1 but I wasn't in learning mode or mood :) Maybe some other time. -- Daniel O.
