[QUOTE="xstep, post: 621941, member: 11647"] Yea, the man pages can be dizzying. You'll get more familiar with it over time. I probably shouldn't have mentioned shell alternatives. These are the different command line environments that exist in Unix land. Bash is the default with OS X now, but sh, csh, tcsh, korn, and bourne are others. Really what you need to be aware of is that they can act differently when you don't expect it. Over time this is something you likely will need to know. Many years ago I choose tcsh and use it today because that is what I'm used to. Realize that you don't have to know it all. Like most people you'll build up knowledge over time. That knowledge and experience will help with new tasks. It is a productive cycle that just takes time. [/QUOTE]
