Y'know, this is a little bit late, and I certainly haven't followed the whole
thread, but as an experienced sysadmin, my first question is why do you

If you like the style of bash scripting, you should also check out perl,
which is very (ba|k|c)sh like, and more.

Whoops - OK, so you can do it in one line.
P.S. Bret - you know a quick beginners guide to this sort of thing

i can use that too! but i have another 500+ existing
