BTW, as the last email probably highlights, you probably shouldn't refer
to it as a "Linux script", I mean we're not using BATCH or some such,
its sh or bash or zsh or tcsh etc... generally you should use sh for
compatibility with older unix, and bash because its slightly more sane.

PS anyone suggesting Perl shall be redirected toward the perl6
documentation... Think you know perl? not anymore
