First, please post an example script that isn't quite as juvenile as the one you've given.

Second: "but somehow never works" doesn't tell us anything. What's the error message? What shell, what OS are you using?

dude.

joke, for a bit of fun.

It may be foreign concept but its all in the name of good geekdom.

I know jokes may better better directed elsewhere but its all about lightening the mood.

Not trying to downgrade the seriousness of these forums just trying to raise a smile Smilie

ok, well.

First off let me say this.

Shell is BAsh
OS is OS X ( as i posted it in the os x forum )

Secondly, i understand the serious nature of these forums, i really do. Maybe thats why i decided to post.

I am the kind of guy that will find the funny side at a funeral. Its not about a lack of respect, its just a form of making the crappy, the humorous, heck it was probably only funny to me.

Its OK that you stepped in, but please respond and say your see humour in it, even if you personally did not find it funny.
Its about appealing to the greater sense of it all.

anyway, regardless of all of the above. unix.com do great work and i admire you all and all involved, in any way.
