Thanks for both of your replies. I guess my initial message might not 
have been to clear, I'm glad to see that you guys got the essential goal 
that I was working towards.

Are there any books on bash scripting that any of you would recomemd? I 
have browsed through the Advanced BASH scrypting HOW-TO over at 
Linuxdoc, but I'd rather have something on paper.

Thanks again,

Stef
