As it turns out you are probably right. My instructor told me there was absolutely nothing wrong with my script. Most of the people in my class were getting the same error. I looks like there was...

When my CGI script is given input from my web page I get this error:

Server error!

The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request. ...

#!/bin/bash
#validate there are 2 arguments passed
#validate argument 1 exists and display an error if it does not
#validate argument 2 is a number and display error if not

I just had to creat a script that would recursively list files that woould equal or exceed X number of bytes with 2 arguments: the first one woould be where to start looking and the second the size...

For a good place to start, I would run the msconfig utility and go to the services tab and select hide microsoft services (which leaves all user installed services visible, then disable all of them...

Ok, I've gotten myself further now, but I'm still a little stuck. I have this done so far:

#!/bin/bash
#validate there are 2 arguments passed
#validate argument 1 exists and display an error if...

This gave me a laugh. I'm currently in a Unix class and we are doing shell scripting. It's over for me after next week. We shift to Perl then. Shell scripting has drove me nuts! I'm just glad to...

Where has this website been all my life!?! Thanks for sharing it. What a 1 stop shopping site that is. Any particular favorite you'd recommend? I like Mandrake the best, but I've really only...

Hi everyone. I am fairly new to Linux and I am taking a UNIX course. I have been asked to write a shell script and I am having a little trouble. I was wondering if anyone could help me. Here are my...
