Re: awk vs. cut

Thanks Alfred,

I will look into using the single quotes on Awk.  As for your second suggestion, that is fixed in 
the next version of SaraB.  I am now using the correct integer comparison ( -eq ) instead of string 
comparison.

Thanks for looking into the problems and sending your suggestions.  I love when users do that!

As an update on SaraB, I am working on the next version which will probably be 0.3.0.  As a teaser, 
it has support for data redundancy via Parchive and an RPM install!

Cheers,

Tristan Rhodes
