As a general rule, all but the very simplest one-off commands should not be entered directly to an interactive command line. Instead, create a script and work on the invocation there. Likewise, even if you think a command should be simple enough to enter directly to the shell prompt, if you don't get it right after a couple of tries, put it in a script. Lastly, if there's even an outside chance that the command will prove useful again in the future, stash it away to save time the next time you need to do the same thing or something similar.
Great advice, Randall - I'll use it from now on. -- Pob hwyl / Best wishes Kevin Donnelly www.kyfieithu.co.uk - KDE yn Gymraeg www.eurfa.org.uk - Geiriadur rhydd i'r Gymraeg www.rhedadur.org.uk - Rhedeg berfau Cymraeg www.cymrux.org.uk - Linux Cymraeg ar un CD -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
