The make the /usr/local/bin/makelink file as mentioned above. (If you don't have access permissions, create $HOME/bin and put it in there; change the find command appropriately.)
The missing part in the script should be something like this:
Perl does two substitutions (stuff between s/.../. The first looks for a period NOT preceded by a digit that is followed by a right-bracket. If it finds such a string, it replaces it with [0]. The next looks for a number inside brackets and followed by a period. If it finds such a thing (which it will if the previous step succeeded, or as it must if the previous step failed) it replaces the number found with the next higher number (just adds 1).
The output is sent to the shell which stores that output in the variable "file". The next iteration of the while loop should fail, and then the ln command will do its thing.
Hi all!
I'd like to know the differences between hard links and soft links. I've already read the ln manpage, but i'm not quite sure of what i understood.
Does a hard link sort of copy the file to a new name, give it the same inode number and same rights?
What exactly should I do to do this:... (3 Replies)

gitaction
gitaction(1) General Commands Manual gitaction(1)NAME
gitaction - GNU Interactive Tools - per file type action script
SYNTAX
gitaction directory file
.gitaction directory file
DESCRIPTION
gitaction is a script that executes a different action for each file type specified. It is called by the gitfm program when pressing F2 or
^Xa (see the gnuitrc.TERM configuration files in the gnuit manual). The first parameter is the current directory name and the second one is
the file name to be matched against the default patterns. The matching is done using the shell 'case' statement. If you press F2 or ^Xa on
a *.html file, gitfm will invoke a browser to view it, if you press F2 or ^Xa on a *.tar.gz file, gitfm will list the tar archive contents,
if you press the same keys on a *.gz file, gitfm will display its uncompressed contents on the screen, etc ...
If you press F2 or ^Xa on a *.gif file or *.jpg file and you have the zgv utility installed, you will be able to see it. If you want to
change the gif/jpeg viewer, all you need to do is to change its name in the gitaction script.
There are many more file types and viewers that gitaction knows about. In addition, if you are running under GNOME, gnome-open is used,
and on MacOS, open(1) is used. see(1) and metamail(1) are also used as fallbacks.
If all else fails, the file is displayed using $GNUIT_PAGER. Feel free to change this. If you want to find out what the default action for
each file type is (or if you want to modify it), just read/modify the gitaction script.
The script can be easily enhanced. Just read it.
The .gitaction script is a local version of the gitaction script. When started, gitaction tries to search a script called .gitaction in the
current directory and, if it finds it, it starts it. If .gitaction's exit code is 0 ( .gitaction couldn't find a matching pattern), gitac-
tion starts its own case statement trying to match the current file name (the second parameter) against its default patterns.
The .gitaction script *must* be executable. An example of .gitaction can be found in the directory gitfm is installed into. (usually
/usr/local/bin or /usr/bin) Debian users can find it in /usr/share/doc/gnuit/examples/. You should copy the example to the current direc-
tory or your home directory and then modify it.
