I disagree here. "autoscript" has not much (if any) meaning when it comes to executing shell scripts (and this is what we are talking about there). I am not aware of a single man page in any of the many Unix flavours using this term. [OTOH, it is the name of an existing company and as such eventually a protected trade mark, at least in some parts of the world.] > If others (especially board maintainers affected) have a strong opinion > about environment variable naming let me know. I do. I want to get rid of references to "autoscr" / "autoscript". Using "script_addr" (and it's variabts) is OK with me.
