James: I'd looked when you initially posted this question, and didn't find the article. Today, looking for an article on server documentation, I found the article that I believe you were asking for in your email: "I 'new' it - A Generator for New Shell Script Templates", by Joseph Pietras. SysAdmin magazine, September 2003, pp. 49-50. regards, Badger -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc
