If you're a programmer or a system administrator, then you need to handle your own diligence w.r.t. portability (among many other issues) and if you blindly incorporate offered solutions without understanding them, then you've got bigger problems than one non-Unix-portable technique.
If we teach people how to write proper shell scripts and how to use commands that work on many systems and not just on Linux, then I think everyone will benefit. From your comments and your other emails here, I get the impression that you think you are the only one who knows about Linux/Unix/programming/etc. and the truth in general and all the others have no clue about it. This causes a weary smile on my face... Since Anders answered my question, there is no need for me to continue this discussion. Thanks for your contribution ;-) Cheers, Th. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
