Perfect! Thanks for the help!
For reference, here's the complete script:
#!/bin/sh
RBLFILES=/var/rbldnsd
echo "SURBL files processing"
n=0
cd "$RBLFILES"
for i in *.surbl.org.rbldnsd.gz
do
n=`expr $n + 1`
echo "Processing #$n [$i]"
truncname=`basename $i .gz`
/usr/bin/gzcat $i > $RBLFILES/$truncname
Done
I had never head of basename before. Thanks for the tip!
