Unix script and split commands for puppy?

#1 Post by rrolsbe »

Anyone know of a Puppy package that has the UNIX script or split commands? Split can break large files into smaller pieces helpful with drive/partition backup scripts.

Thanks Much
Regards
Ron

Scripting is built into puppy, Bash shell by defualt.

Run from the console or to make a sript right click in a blank area in rox and choose @New' and then 'Script'.

hope this helps

I believe the Linux equivalent to unix "script" command usage was sought ?

SCRIPT

No need for any appology > You were 8) closer to solution than realized !

Code: Select all

man script
For example : unless widely used - confusion is natural - many commonly used CLI utilities are not part of default Bash.

Anyone who wishes to use Bash for own scripting - needs to become familiar to many tools (I.E. GAWK & SED)
In conjunction to piping output to perform tasks on returned values.
(Eye) -candy is dandy but :wink: decays toothy bytes ?
