LOOKAMB(1) General Commands Manual LOOKAMB(1)NAME
lookamb - examine ambient file values
SYNOPSIS
lookamb [ -d ][ -r ][ -h ] [ ambfile ]
DESCRIPTION
Lookamb examines an ambient file produced by rpict(1), rtrace(1), or rvu(1). The default mode prints the position, direction, level,
weight, radius, value, position gradient and direction gradient for each stored ambient value preceded by a label appropriate for human
interpretation. The -d option prints the same quantities in 18 columns without any expanatory text, and is more appropriate as input to
another program.
The -r option performs the reverse conversion, taking the output of lookamb and reproducing the original ambient file on the standard out-
put.
The -h option causes lookamb not to print out the header information on the output, or not to expect it on the input with the -r option.
If no file is given, lookamb reads from the standard input.
NOTES
Before release 2.2 of Radiance, ambient files were in a machine-dependent format. Since that is no longer the case, ambient files can now
be moved freely between machines without any conversions. Thus, the only reason to use lookamb now is to examine the contents of an ambi-
ent file.

I see lot of ad-hoc shell scripts in our servers which don't have a shebang at the beginning .
Does this mean that it will run on any shell ?
Is it a good practice to create scripts (even ad-hoc ones) without shebang ? (16 Replies)

I've "installed" LM 19.1 to a PNY 16Gb(2.0) pendrive. I have a few issues that I'd like to resolve. First and foremost, the O.S. experiences "lagging" issues and to a lesser degree, freezing.
