He said he needed "brief" but not as brief as "man sh" I said, by example, "use these tools which are here," in as clear and readable a form as I could, owing to the near certainty that the OP was unfamiliar with the language form(s). Then I followed up with a recommendation for further reading which, regardless of your apparent encyclopedic knowledge of the subject, is exactly what I recommended: Further reading if the OP needs more functionality than could be deduced from a study of the basic startup scripts for freebsd. Whatever "tone" you are hearing is not emanating from my email. lane _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
