SOME SCRIPTS WILL NOT RUN AS IS Note that the source code for certain of the example shell scripts have the "<" and ">" in place of angle brackets (< and >), or & in place of the ampersand (&). This is necessary for the Docbook SGML conversion. If you plan to run these scripts from the enclosed source files, then it will, of course, be necessary to restore the angle brackets or ampersand. < becomes < > becomes > << becomes << <<< becomes <<< >> becomes >> & becomes & In some of the below cases, only the comments are affected, and these scripts require no fixups to execute as expected. The following sed scriptlet will accomplish the fixup: sed -e 's/</</g' -e 's/>/>/g' SCRIPT.sh > FIXED_SCRIPT.sh A followup double-check is advisable, of course. ======================================================================= Scripts needing to be altered: ----------------------------- Du.sh (line 19) encryptedpw.sh (lines 27 and 35) ex57.sh (comment in line 8) ex70.sh (line 3) ex71.sh (line 7) ex71a.sh (line 8) ex71b.sh (line 22) logevents.sh (lines 31, 39-42, 47-8, 54, 56, 58, 61, 63, 67) m4.sh (line 8: "\&" --> \&) pw.sh (comment in line 4) read-r.sh (lines 5, 6, 20, 27) rnd.sh (comments in lines 38, 55, 64) rot13.sh (comment, line 6) rot13a.sh (comment, line 5) here-function.sh (line 16) avoid-subshell.sh (lines 24, 25, and 33) usb.sh (line 28) prepend.sh (lines 18 and 28) array-assign.bash ( comments on lines 18-19) cdll (lines 51-53, 59, 63-69, 82-83, 85, 463, 521, 567-568, 570, 580-586, 637, 656-658) directory-info.sh (lines 36, 166, 273 and 353) is-spammer.sh (comments on lines 4, 35, and 51) bashrc (comment on line 4) commentblock.sh (lines 4 and 23) self-document.sh (line 14) self-document2.sh (line 8) dev-tcp.sh (line 14) archiveweblogs.sh (comment in line 4) multiple-processes.sh (line 143) catscripts.sh (lines 12 and 21) is_spammer.bash (comments on various lines) iscan.sh (comment in line 10) Hash.lib, (comments in lines lines 103 and 116: & --> &) (comment in line 3: < --> <, > --> >) hash-example.sh (comment in line 3: < --> <, > --> >) quote-fetch.sh (comment in line 26: & --> &) ftpget.sh (comment in line 28) whx.sh (comment in line 259) pad.sh, (comments in line 6, lines 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 33, 34). nightly-backup.sh (comment in line 4) tohtml.sh: lines 22-33 lines 35-36 lines 38-41 line 74 line 83 lines 100-101 In-line code block at beginning of "I/O Redirection" chapter, line 41.
