by George Bunyan on October 21st, 2006

If you do not wish to have members of the opposite sex falling at your feet for you ultimate control over all things linuxy then you can safely disregard this message.

Bash scripting is one of, if not THE greatest reason that bash is great. It allows for quick and easy scripts that would take much longer to implement in other programming languages.

May the script be with you!
