Oh, sure... Just make my perl skills obsolete. ;-) Thanks for the tip. I never heard of pkill before. -- Linux, sci-fi, and Nat Torkington, all at Penguicon 3.0 perl -e 'print(map(chr,(0x4a,0x41,0x50,0x48,0xa)))'	[reply] [d/l]

Take a look at the base system packages in your installation which install lots of binaries in `/bin`, `/usr/bin`, `/sbin` etc. Dig through the corresponding manpages. There are quite a few gems in there; few people know much of even the basic Unix tool set. I'm not done exploring myself. Makeshifts last the longest.	[reply]
