[SLUG] Simple Newbie Questions

["Matt" <icq2000site@nospam.hotmail.com>]

Hello .. just a few things i've been thinking about:

Say I would like to make a script to run "dhclient eth0" for Optushome 
(since i'm too scared to do that rc.d stuff - i froze things up last time :) 
..

Uhmm .. this is what i'd be thinking

make a script called "oh" and enter into it "dhclient eth0",

chmod +x oh,

copy it to the /bin directory so that i'd be in a path (i know, that's what 
the email's for) :)

then just run oh whenever i need it ..

So what's the right way of doing such a thing ? For example, I know the /bin 
thing can't be the right way to do it .. do most people make their own 
script dir and add it the their path variable ? Or is that what /etc/ or 
/var is for (Gee .. I dunno) :)

What about a perl script ? IS that how most people make "perl myperl1" into 
a "program" ? With a shell script that says "perl perl1" ?

Also in Internet Explorer (Windows) the shortcut to open a link in a new 
window is SHIFT + CLICK, in Netscape for Linux it says

"Open Link in New Window     Button 2"

What does this mean, especially "button 2" ? Is there a SHIFT CLICK type 
shortcut I can use here ?

Thanks guys ! :)


Regards, Matt
