1. Please do not teach beginners the _numbers_, please teach them the _names_ of flags, e.g. $ kill -KILL <pid> # instead of $ kill -9 <pid> #. That's more memorable and less risky. 2. Please provide references to manpages for each command _and_ URLs where you get more information about each _individual_ command on the WWW. ---- Bye, Roland -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) [EMAIL PROTECTED] \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 3992797 (;O/ \/ \O;) _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
