But as i get to line 2 it burps me a bash: syntax error near unexpected token `bunzip2'
Try this: cd /mnt/extra1/files for i in /home/lucifer/download/*.bz2; do bunzip2 $i done The shell expands "/home/lucifer/download/*.bz2" to the list of file names. The semi-colon tells Bash it's reached the end of the list. -- Robert Wohlfarth rjwohlfar@galaxyinternet.net "Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?" -- Matthew 6:25b
