I've never written a complex shell script before. I googled around and found some sights that gave me a clue what to do. I followed what they said and it didn't work.
I entered and saved the info in vi, changed the permissions using chmod a+x <filename>, tried to run it and nothing happened. I'm pretty sure it's in the search path. Can someone give me a step by step procedure for turning this into a shell script, please.
