Re: [tlug] shell scripts

[Alain Hoang <hoanga@example.com>]

Hi,

	Haven't done much programming specifically for FreeBSD.  However,
if you're looking at programming a kernel module for FreeBSD might want 
to
look here:

http://www.r4k.net/mod/fbsdfun.html

	In regards to shell scripts i stick with plain Bourne Shell and use
the simplest semantics possible.  For about 80% of the small things I
want to glue together it works quite well.   Once I get to the other 20%
and it gets harder using straight Bourne I usually switch to a scripting
language since if I have to use a specific shell outside of Bourne or
C-Shell I already know I'm sunk in terms of maintenance and portability
so might as well just move to a language with more features.
