You didn't read my message precisely ;-) I talked about extracting the current settings and upgrading only, when current settings are lower. Or the other way around, if user already pushed settings to a higher value as needed by jadetex, then leave values as they are. Should be not to difficult, to grep for the variable names and to extract the value after the '=' sign. Then only a if [ $xxx -lt number ] comparision and you are through ... I'd pipe the whole config file through awk, and if it hit's a line with a variable we want to check, you can do the necessary testing and doing changes by doing something like print $1,"=", higher_number or same number print $1,"=", $3 -- Andreas Klemm http://www.FreeBSD.ORG/~andreas http://www.freebsd.org/~fsmp/SMP/SMP.html powered by Symmetric MultiProcessor FreeBSD To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
