Here is what was happening: 'pdfunit' expects *several* PDFs to unite. Not

I corrected the problem (when one single PDF matches, the script uses 'mv'):

'mv' really is a basic command to move files (notice that moving to the

With the newest version, there should be restriction on the number of

Again: no, the newest version has no restriction on the number of matching

As far as I remember, GRUB lists all installed kernels. On Trisquel, the menu

SVTony had a problem but it is not like everybody had. And if you would look

I do not think that using proprietary software (with no interaction with

is sad that users of proprietary software do not seem to value their own
freedoms.
The script writes the output PDF in the working directory (i.e., the

are in different directories. For instance to process all PDFs in the
sub-directories dir1 and dir2 of the working directory:

Many good points were made. However, in my opinion, one important point is

Assuming your processor is from Intel (probably the case), it comes with a
