      Hey All!              Added 'file' to the tuxpower.sh script to ensure that the posted script       is actually a script and nothing else. Also added is a check to ensure       the poster has read access to the script to be posted and if not then       exist with a special code (15) to indicate that is the case.              For now I just added an 'if' that calls up 'file' like so;               if [ "$(file $1 | grep "shell script text")" ]              which if $1 isn't a shell script should cause tuxpower.sh to exit and       not post an unsuitable file to the echo, such as a binary file which       would be extremely bad.              Unless someone has anything further to add, this should be the final       posting of 'tuxpower.sh'. :::knock on wood:::              Offhand I think this looks good as is.              Life is good,       Maurice              --- Msged/LNX 6.2.0        * Origin: The Pointy Stick Society (1:261/38.9)    |
