drwx------ 7 sysgate users 4096 2008-09-18 17:53 cbx50a5a.default
-rw-r--r-- 1 sysgate users 94 2008-07-23 15:41 profiles.ini
- the bookmarks.html is in cbx50a5a.default folder, as well as some other files.
So, it looks like you cannot predict the numbers that are before the .default, and you can't do "cd *.default", obviously, so my workaround suggestion would be to get the file you want to be distributed, and post it on HTTP server, somewhere, where everyone can access it, mail all the students, saying : please download this file, and update your bookmarks accordingly".
I would love, however, to see programmatic way to solve this.
