and one more thing, how can I edit my profile file so that I dont have to put ./ in front of my script files??? I mean, how do I make it possible to just type the script file name and then have the system run the file right away

edit your profile file and add the "." to the PATH

PATH=$PATH:.
export $PATH

(but it's insecure).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you want to copy especific configuration files when you add
a new user, in some unix you have a skeleton directory (for
example in Solaris is /etc/skel _see useradd man page_) and when you create a new user those files are copied to the home directory (see the apropiate man page of user creation in your unix flavor).

---------------------------
1- create a dir and put into the files you wish to copy

2- create a copy script like copy.sh

Code:

for i in *
do
  if [ "$i" != "copy.sh" ]
  then
     cut -d: -f6 /etc/passwd |sort -u |while read dir
     do
        if [ ! -f $dir/$i ]
        then
           echo "cp -p $i $dir"
        fi
     done
   fi
done

3- chmod 0750 copy.sh

./copy.sh

4- if the script display that you wish to do, replace the line
echo "cp -p $i $dir"
for the line
cp -p $i $dir

In the previus reply I remember the Common phrase:
make what I say but no what I make.

neon-config

NEON-CONFIG(1)							neon API reference						    NEON-CONFIG(1)

NAME

       neon-config - script providing information about installed copy of neon library

SYNOPSIS

       neon-config [--prefix] [[--cflags] | [--libs] | [--la-file] | [--support feature] | [--help] | [--version]]

DESCRIPTION

       The neon-config script provides information about an installed copy of the neon library. The --cflags and --libs options instruct how to
       compile and link an application against the library; the --version and --support options can help determine whether the library meets the
       applications requirements.

OPTIONS

       --cflags
	   Print the flags which should be passed to the C compiler when compiling object files, when the object files use neon header files.

       --libs
	   Print the flags which should be passed to the linker when linking an application which uses the neon library

       --la-file
	   Print the location of the libtool library script, libneon.la, which can be used to link against neon by applications using libtool.

       --version
	   Print the version of the library

       --prefix dir
	   If dir is given; relocate output of --cflags and --libs as if neon was installed in given prefix directory. Otherwise, print the
	   installation prefix of the library.

       --support feature
	   The script exits with success if feature is supported by the library.

       --help
	   Print help message; includes list of known features and whether they are supported or not.

EXAMPLE

       Below is a Makefile fragment which could be used to build an application against an installed neon library, when the neon-config script can
       be found in $PATH.

	   CFLAGS = `neon-config --cflags`
	   LIBS = `neon-config --libs`
	   OBJECTS = myapp.o
	   TARGET = myapp

	   $(TARGET): $(OBJECTS)
		$(CC) $(LDFLAGS) -o $(TARGET) $(OBJECTS) $(LIBS)

	   myapp.o: myapp.c
		$(CC) $(CFLAGS) -c myapp.c -o myapp.o
