Hi List,
I have a shell script and want a uninterruptable sleep. /usr/bin/sleep
itself seems to have its own signal handlers. How is it possible to sleep
uninterruptable?
#!/bin/bash
trap "echo 'Ctrl+C should not work'" INT
for foo in 1 2 3; do
echo $foo
sleep 10
done
## end

I don't think you're alone there :)
how about:
#!/bin/bash
UNNEEDED_FILES=(pagefile.sys temp 'Temporary Internet Files')
for (( i=0 ; $i < ${#UNNEEDED_FILES[*]} ; i++ )) ;
do
echo

You need write access on the directory for creating files and
on the file for overwriting.

Use "test" or "[" or "[[".

Hi,
you can check if the directory containing the file is writable, if it isn't then you can't create a file.

Hello,
How can i check whether i can create or overwrite a file?
For example:
If /etc/conf.d/net cannot be overwritten or created it return false.
Overwriting test would be -w /etc/conf.d/net, but how can i check if i can

I'm not quiet sure what you mean with "output of pwd/blah".
If you want to assign "/home/me/blah" (or whatever your current
directory is) you may use the en
#!/bin/sh
#
blah=`pwd`/blah
echo $blah
output:
/home/thor/tmp/blah
holpe it helps.

What do you mean - are you looking for the actual phrase 'output of
/path/to/blah', i.e.
$blah='output of $(pwd)/blah'
are are you looking for program out
