Well that's the point. You have to send stuff that's usefull for everyone, not just for yourself. And that requires quite some insight. I won't recommend trying to improve rc.sysinit for begining shellscript- coders. But I am sure you find something to code that lies within your capabilities. # Han -- http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanb/software http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanb/documents/quotingguide.html
