I am writing a shell script that needs to files that are links to on specific shell script.

e.g.

/usr/bin/a.sh

/home/mydir/a.sh --> /usr/bin/a.sh
/home/yourdir/a.sh --> /usr/bin/a.sh...

head -1 list.txt > out.txt
echo sleep 5 >> out.txt

cat <your file> | cut -d ' ' -f 1

ok so I made this _way_ to complicated....

I first tried ( with no luck on lots of permutations ):
for i in `ls *bbb_*`
do
a=`echo $i | sed -e 's/\(*bbb_\)\(*\)/\10\2/g'`
mv $i $a

also works in vi
vi <filename>
then use the command
:%s/^M//g

to get a ^M use CTL-V then CTL-M

CTL-V tells vi to take the next command literally.

check out useradd on your system. To find out about a command use the man command ( manual )
e.g.
man useradd

Hello all-
