They are usually given a '.bat' extension in DOS. Unix shell scripts can have any file name, but it is quite common' to use '.sh' as the extentsion. There are several different command interpreters, known as "shells". The basic one supplied with most Unixes is the original 'sh', but there are later versions with many more options. Shell scripts must be marked as executable before they can be run - use the command "chmod +x yourscript.sh". Read up on the 'bash' shell for much more detail. It is FAR more powerful than the DOS command line. -- Personal : Mike.Jeays -at- rogers.com Phone : 613-724-4510 Work : Mike.Jeays -at- statcan.ca Phone : 613-951-9929 FAX 613-951-0395 Web page : http://members.rogers.com/mike.jeays
