Re: [SLUG] Simple Newbie Questions

Ahh ! Real helpful, thanks Rodos !

Esp the /usr/local/bin .. when it comes to a Linux user's own stuff .. would 
you say that it's basically /home and /usr/local ?

Oh yeh, the perl script was for parsing nmap output, shell scripts dont do 
regular expressions do they ?

Also, Perl scripts CAN be run without #!/bin/sh on my system, it doesnt seem 
essential, is it essential in bash scripts ?

Is using #!/bin/bash exactly the same ?


Thanks again !
