Well, that job is already covered by 'install', no? E.g., if you want to create a new file atomically that cannot be accessed by another user you would do: $ install -m 600 /dev/null secret Not related to functionality, but from reading the subject I thought 'crtfile' was something to interact with certificates. Maybe that is just me, though. Collin
