Got it! Thanks again, Dr. House. When I was trying to figure this out, I would always include one in quotes, but not the other, so I could never get it to work. I did have to tweak it a bit, because...

Hello again, I am visiting this again, after running into a tiny snag... When using the directory as an argument in the crontab, it behaves completely erratically if the argument has a space in the...

Thanks a lot for all of the info. I was really worried that I would have to reinstall, as I have everything set up just right (well, except for the drive situation!) and that would be a real pain to...

Sorry I misspoke... It is RAID 1. I remember setting it up a bit ago, but didnt correctly remember the number. Does that change the later part of your answer, as far as how to use of the drives for...

Hello, I have a file server running openSuse 11.1, that has two HDDs running in RAID 0 (mirroring) using the md software RAID linux driver. I was considering removing this RAID, using one of the...

I haven't messed with functions at all. I like that example though. It looks like I have more reading to do... As I stated earlier, I always learn something from your replies :) Thanks again for...

Veeeery interesting... Thanks for that Avron. If that is the case, it would really defeat the whole purpose of this check. For the longest time, my basic script simply waited (via 'sleep') for a set...

Thanks for that! I didn't have the [ true ] portion in my mock up (which may explain why I never got it to work...). I like reading your responses; I always learn something. Thanks again, and I'll...

Dr. House is at it again! Thanks for the example, once again. It appears I have more reading to do though, as there re some bits that I don't understand. The '2>&1'... that sends stderr to the same...

Hello again, I have a script on my media server that wakes up my backup server, performs an 'rsync' backup, then shuts the backup server down. Currently, I have it send the Wake on LAN packet, and...

Awesome. So I can essentially, write one script, only changing the arguments in the crontab, and all will be well. I am going to love the simplicity in this. Thanks for the help!

Wow, that would be SO much easier. I had no idea that you could do that (I told you I was a rookie!). So, is it possible to use more that one argument? I would think so, just looking at some other...

Hello, I am pretty new to UNIX/bash scripting, so this question may seem obvious. My experience is simply stringing commands together in a script, maybe doing some if/then testing and such, so I...
