Thanks. OK, I may take a stab at writing since writitng is one thing I do fairly well. So what types of things should such documentation contain? Should it be a man page? An addiditon to the Handbook? Something else? If you (or someone) could help me with the format and how to submit it (a PR?), I'll see what I can come up with. The worst that can happen is that I'll learn how to use the shell! :) Drew To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
