Thanx all for sharing your knowledge.

I've found Stackoverflow useful when I've had a shell-ish problem to solve. But there, even more so than here, you'll need to show people what you've already tried and be clear about what your desired result is. | [reply] |
In my humble, with the sole exception of the Korn shell, a shell is not really intended for programming, and is really not suited for it, although undeniably this is routinely done. You can hammer a nail with a piece of iron pipe, too, or remove a nail with a wrench, but it’s a profitless use of your imagination and ingenuity.
“That’s what ‘shebang’ (#!) is for.” You can write programs in any one of a dozen suitable scripting/programming languages, of which Perl, of course, is the best. ;-) No one who merely runs the script will know, or care in the slightest, how it’s done.
