8/18 How long has the command "seq" been around? I just saw it in
one of my coworkers shell scripts and wish I had known about it
years ago...
\_ what does it do? - bash fan #1
\_ It prints out a sequence of numbers from FIRST to LAST in
a specified increment.
\_ in bash (taken from ksh, I believe), that's
for ((i=0;i<10;i++)); do echo $i ; done
\_ soda:~% seq --version

\_ Auto-deletion directly denies access
to the motd and thus prevents the free
exchange of ideas that is necessary for
a "marketplace of ideas" to function.
Auto-posting doesn't directly deny access,
and while it may drive people away from
the motd, the motd still remains accessible.
Thus, I think that auto-deletion, in which
you don't know what you lost, is a much
worse form of terrorist, than auto-posting,
which only makes it harder to find things.
Personally, I think both auto-posting and
auto-deletion need to be controlled for
the motd to function effectively.
\_ seq shreads. I use the -w option for naming nodes in a script
for a linux cluster: for i in $(seq -w 1 200); do echo n$i; done
will give you node001-node200 |
