Point being, make it an option to do so. Further, make an option to specify the file to write to instead of /etc/fstab. Ie. '-F' writes to the _standard_ file (/etc/fstab), and then '-f /saving/someother/computer/etc/fstab' would modify the alternate file instead of the /etc/fstab. Then again, neither '-F' nor '-f ' means it wouldn't do it all. Another suggestion might be to define '-f -' to do the usual of throwing it to the stdout. Just a penny and a half.......
