Hello All,   
      
   Here's the script I wrote that creates a TIC file and then calls a built-in    
   MBSE utility to hatch the file:   
      
   === Cut ===   
   #!/bin/sh   
      
   HATCHPWD="removed"   
   INBOUND=$MBSE_ROOT/var/inbound   
   HVERSION="1.0"   
      
      
   if [ "`id -un`" != "mbse" ]; then   
       echo "This program may only be used by user 'mbse'"   
       exit 1   
   fi   
      
   if [ "Password" == "${HATCHPWD}" ]; then   
       echo "This script is not yet configured, first edit this script before    
   use!"   
       exit 1   
   fi   
      
   ## Perform the actual hatching   
   FILE=$INBOUND/`$MBSE_ROOT/bin/mbseq`.tic   
   echo "Hatch" > $FILE   
   echo "Created Sean's MBSE Single File Hatch Script v$HVERSION" >> $FILE   
   echo "Area $GROUP" >> $FILE   
   if [ "$REPL" != "NONE" ]; then   
           echo "Replaces $REPL" >> $FILE   
   fi   
   if [ "$MAGIC" != "NONE" ]; then   
           echo "Magic $MAGIC" >> $FILE   
   fi   
   echo "Origin $AKA" >> $FILE   
   echo "From $AKA" >> $FILE   
   echo "File $f" >> $FILE   
   echo "Fullname $f" >> $FILE   
   echo "Pth `pwd`" >> $FILE   
   echo "Desc $DESC" >> $FILE   
   echo "Pw $HATCHPWD" >> $FILE   
   echo -e "\n $F hatched!\n"   
      
   ## Hatch the file out   
   $MBSE_ROOT/bin/mbfido tic   
   ## Announce hatched file quietly   
   $MBSE_ROOT/bin/mbaff a -q   
   === Cut ===
