I have a small patch that adds an option (-s) to the random command. It prints one random line out of every _denominator_ lines to stdout. For example, if you feed it an ls of /bin (32 files) to stdin, with "random -s 4" you will get series of 8 (=32/4) random filenames from /bin. dalroi * cd /bin dalroi * ls|random -s 4 chio dd domainname hostname mv red rmail test If anybody is interested I'll send it, according to the guidelines (But then I'll have to read up a bit on them first, this is my first FreeBSD patch). -- Alban Hertroys http://wit401310.student.utwente.nl - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Install a BSD and become religious.
