What you need is to check if '+REQUIRED_BY' file exists. (For finer control, also check if it is empty or not.) If file does not exist (or is empty), then there is no registered dependency. #!/bin/sh pkgdb=/var/db/pkg for p in $pkgdb/* do [ -f "$p/+REQUIRED_BY" ] || { echo "$p" | sed -e "s!^$pkgdb/!!" ; } done - Parv -- A programmer, budding Unix system administrator, and amateur photographer ISO employment.
