Your correlate to my expressions with the one you mentioned is not correct.
How can some one ask can you pl make a script for this and this?
What I men was why can't they go to google and type "script for this and
this".

Hope you got it!

I'm here since 1991 and always there were questions of mixed levels of
understanding, as well as answers, for example when I asked about iropt in
SunOS 4.0.3 dumping core one admin suggested me to check if the computer is
plugged in a power outlet. Please calm down your pride and let people help
each other.
