Sorry. I didn't wish to give you undeserved praise for the one liner. I too 
pass on the odd bit of script that I've received from others on various 
lists, and don't wish to take the credit for it.

My bash scripting knowledge is virtually nill, and have always been gratefull 
for the help provided by folks more knowledgeable than me.

I installed the abs-guide a while back, but shame on me, it's sitting there 
in /usr/share/doc, and nobody's prodding me in the back saying "Come on man, 
get your act together, and learn some scripting".

I'll have to google a bit, and see if there's some on-line bash scripting 
course, with example scripts to try out, and help if there are problems with 
them.

Perhaps I'm just getting a bit old, but it would be nice to understand how 
this stuff works.

Nigel.
