Jebus. I hate shell scripts!
Yes, shell scripts make thing easier. A script will do want I don't want to remember to do. A script will speed up things to allow more time for Farking...
But it takes some time to write the damned things...
Here's the script I had to write for a job interview:
I would also like to see a shell script written in BASH that builds a
Solaris software package lets say proftpd 1.2.10. The build should start
from the canoical source available at :
ftp://ftp.proftpd.org/distrib/source/proftpd-1.2.10.tar.gz
Include all patches necessary to compile the application. Apply the patches
and create the package. No need to worry about error handling.
the script:
#
# Package creation script - 05NOV05 w.b.
# Portable code for universal package creation. I still
# need to tweak some of the commands, but this file
# downloads source, configures, makes, packages,
# and archives Solaris packages.
#
# location variables
#
pkg_stage="/tmp/pkgtmp"
installdir="/opt/proftpd" # this may be defunct now

Vodka martini, shaken not stirred...
Yeah, been a Bond fan for many years... Hell, who didn't want to be 007!?!? I even watched the scary Roger Moore movies... Walken as Zorin, CLASSIC!
Here's another xbox delight: From Russia with Love.
It's Zorin Approved!
