Then, I tryied XFree86 -xf86configfile /root/XF86Config and it brought up X in the desired resolution, although no Window Manager came up, just raw X. Save your working XF86Config or XF86Config-4 to *.save and keep them in /etc/X11. Then, if I reboot, it doesn't go in runlevel 5 anymore, the logs telling that /root/XF86Config contain errors (??). How did the default boot got pointed to /root/XF86Config if I only tested it with the -xf86configfile option? Also, the Mandrake generated XF86Config file contain modelines for the monitor; since X release 4+ doesn't require that, I tryied to remove those lines but it complains. And in /etc/X11 there are XF86Config and XF86Config-4 files. Caldera used the -4 file, where Mdk seems to be using the one without the -4... This is a lot disturbing.

Kinda sad actually. /mini-rant At this point, I am considering switching distros, and am considering both SuSE and Mandrake (I still can't bring myself to use RedHat...yet) and possibly others.

Wipe-clean/install-new gets to be a PITA very quickly, particularly with multiple installations in different locations, location-specific configurations, etc... - reasonable price without unreasonable license restrictions. I don't necessarily mind paying for specific commercial apps, but If I want per-seat licensing, I can use Windoze and make management reasonably happy. - Not bleeding edge, but reasonably current - other criteria which I haven't thought of yet ;-) Any comments welcome.

Incrementing Letter variables in bash
So far my searching hasn't turned up anything useful. Is there a quick way to increment a letter variable in a bash script? I am creating a script to automatically transfer files in a given directory by creating a dated folder (mkdir $(date -I), copy files into new folder and create a .log of the files using the output of 'ls'. The issue here is that in order to stick to an existing convention, more than one transfer in the same day has a '-a' or '-b' appended to the directory and .log file names. I've not been able to come up with a clever way to automatically increment the letter to be appended, for example if '-a' has already been taken for a given day. It's not the checking part that I have trouble with, it's incrementing a _letter_. Before I create some ugly monstrosity of a loop to do this, can anyone offer any hints? Scripting has never been my strong suit...I can read scripts quite well, but tend to complexify simple tasks due to lack of experience. -- Linux SxS [http://sxs.webhop.net] ___ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.

Ditto on this and all of the areas I've not addressed below.
- stability/security
Have had no problems. I don't heavily use the on-line (and

I have used it and the only problem has been that I'd let it slide too long
without, so my ISP connection would time out if I tried to update 50+
patches at once. If I split it into two groups ('security' patches in one
and 'recommended' patches in another) it worked fine. The option to select
which patches to update made this an easy process.
- A distro with some continuity/upgradability/sense of direction.
Wipe-clean/install-new gets to be a PITA very quickly,

multiple installations in different locations, location-specific
configurations, etc...
SuSE seems to put out a new release about every 4 months. I
can't really
attest to how well it upgrades from one release to the next

The 7.2-7.3 upgrade was easier than falling off a log (and *much* less
painful).
- other criteria which I haven't thought of yet ;-)
I liked it well enough to write a song about SuSE:
SxS - Distros - URL Links ... - SuSE section - A Song for SuSE
More than that, I have an old 56K ISA modem (USR, but the one with*out* the
switches to make it easy to configure). SuSE is the only distro I've tried
that recognized it and set it up correctly (and with no input from me).
Tried Caldera eD2.4 (liked it but no modem), RedHat (OK, but no modem
other problems), Slackware (no dice) and a few others. Only SuSE made that
old modem work. Without it I have to fall back on my external 28.8 modem!

RE: Incrementing Letter variables in bash
This should give you an idea of how to proceed:
--- cut here ---
#!/bin/sh
# This creates an array consisting of lower case letters, indexed
# from 0
A=(a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z)
# Index through the array
for (( i=0 ; $((i=25)) ; $((i++)) ))
do
echo A[$i] = ${A[$i]}
done
echo
--- cut here---
$ ./x
A[0] = a
A[1] = b
A[2] = c
...
A[23] = x
A[24] = y
A[25] = z
Hope this helps.

Subject:Incrementing Letter variables in bash
So far my searching hasn't turned up anything useful.
Is there a quick way to increment a letter variable in a bash script?
I am creating a script to automatically transfer files in a given
directory by creating a dated folder (mkdir $(date -I), copy files into
new folder and create a .log of the files using the output of 'ls'.
The issue here is that in order to stick to an existing convention, more
than one transfer in the same day has a '-a' or '-b' appended to the
directory and .log file names.
I've not been able to come up with a clever way to automatically
increment the letter to be appended, for example if '-a' has already
been taken for a given day. It's not the checking part that I have
trouble with, it's incrementing a _letter_.
Before I create some ugly monstrosity of a loop to do this, can anyone
offer any hints? Scripting has never been my strong suit...I can read
scripts quite well, but tend to complexify simple tasks due to lack of
experience.

Re: Incrementing Letter variables in bash
Here is a short script which will do what you want. Run it as:
scriptname letter
and see the magic.
#!/bin/bash
upletter ()
{
octal=`echo -n $L | od -A n -o`
new_octal=`echo obase = 8;ibase=8;$octal + 1 | bc`
L=`eval echo -e $new_octal`
}
L=$1
upletter
echo This is the new letter $L
I have no idea why I had to use the eval statement and all the slashes
in front of $new_octal, but it works. That is the kind of thing I can
imagine breaking between different versions of bash.
