thank you very much, it works perfectly.

I have just 3 more things that I really need to know the solution, please allow me to show it.

script that backup a file. The file name to backup should be provided as input parameter, the backup file should have the same file name with the extension ".bak". If the user provides no input parameter, the script should display an error message. If there is an input file name, but it does not exist, the script should display an error message. If the input file exists, the script should create the backup file and overwrite any existing backup file with the same name.

---

script (called phone) that creates a simple telephone list (create an empty file called “phonlist” in home directory) . Each line in this file consist of two fields name and the phone number, the script should do the following:
When user types the command : “phone new <name> <number>” this will add new record (name,number) to the list.
When user type command: “phone <name>” then the script should search in the file “phonelist” and gets the phone number and display the result.

---

a complex command using pipes to Calculate the number of hits per client in Squid log file (access.log), the command should display most active hosts first.

Line example

1197979501.787 1 10.1.14.62 TCP_NEGATIVE_HIT/404 1463 GET http://url

The output should be like:

34 10.1.14.3
33 10.1.14.5
22 10.1.16.1
18 10.1.18.1

I'm deadly need to understand the solutions, I think its a huge step for me to learn the programming on this script.

thanks

It is written using dialog and allows to send a text SMS choosing recipients from the phone address book or entering it manually. OPTIONS Available options: [--debug|-D] May bother with more debugging messages. For debugging purpose. --simul[ate], -S Simulation mode. Doesn't really send SMS by phone. Only simulates. For debugging purpose. --forceSMread, -s Forces sendsms to read phonebook from SIM card, and to parse the generated file in order to update the numbers' list (useful only if required to pickup number from the phone's memory). See NOTE. --forceMEread, -m Forces sendsms to read phonebook from phone memory, and to parse the generated file in order to update the numbers' list (useful only if required to pickup number from the phone's memory). See NOTE. --skipgnokiicheck, -K Skip the test of the presence of binary 'gnokii'. (It must be somewhere in your $PATH). It allows you to try this script program, even if you don't have 'gnokii' already. ;) --smsset, --setsms Allows you to preset a SMS message from STDIN. (pipe or input redirection). This message will be proposed on the 'SMS message' field during the program input cycle. --help, -h, /h display this help and exit --version, -V output version information and exit" NOTE: If you require to pickup number from phone's memory (or from SIM card), for the first time, it anyway reads phonebook from your mobile phone.
