I want to write a script to install a python application. I has to locate the
interpreter, extract that path, and create the shebang declaration on the first
line, then append the remaining prepared script to that, create a directory
under the web cgi-bin, and create a pair of files in it with the owner's email
(and password in one of them). some of this is simple io, but I am pretty
unclear on the joining of strings and variable values, not to mention parsing
the output of whereis- or how to direct it's raw results into some sort of a
variable. Scripting can be very powerful, but I'm still something of a newbie at
this. Anyone interested in tossing an oar into my waters?
