Re: [newbie] Copy *.* to *.bak -- how?
try something like bash# for i in *; do cp $i $.bak; done sherwin [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Dear friends: Let's say I have the following files: File1 File2 File3 etc. Now, normally to make a backup copy of each, I would do the following: cp File1 File1.bk cp File2 File2.bk cp File3 file3.bk etc. My question: Is there a SINGLE command that would allow me to create backups for hundreds of files within a directory at one blow, that is, so as to create the series of backups above: File1 File1.bk File2 File2.bk File3 file3.bk etc. In other words, is there a command that would allow me to do this all at once from within a directory rather than manually copy each file one at a time? Thanks so very much.
[newbie] rpm 4 macros
Greetings! I'm trying to rebuild postgresql-7.1.1-3mdk.src.rpm in LM72. Suddenly, It just stop. I looked at the spec file and found out that it was written in rpm 4 (using new macros). Too bad because I only have rpm-3.0.5-27mdk. Macros like %serverbuild. Can somebody tell me where to find the definition of rpm 4 macros? If I can just get my hands on LM80, I would execute rpm --eval %name_of_macro. Thanks for the time. Sherwin

thank you but this is not what i actually mean. you can always, of course, type ... kedit name_of_text_file or ark name_of_zip_file in the terminal to open the files associated to kedit or ark in X. what i was looking for is a command in the terminal that will spawn kedit , ark, or any program according to the file association of the file to be opened. we'll if there is really none (i hope there is :), i guess i have open KDE/FileBrowsing/File Associations, do copy paste and create a program for this. Thanks!

Is there anything I can type in the commandline something like... # command any_file that will open the program (in X) associated to any_file? It is just like opening the konqueror and clicking any_file. TIA. Sherwin
