Hi,

I have a small script below to copy a set of files to a set of machines 
on the network. I can't figure out how to enable tilde expansion for the 
first instance of 'fname' in the script even after RTFMing the bash 
manpage. Any help is appreciated.

TIA.

# Script to copy certain files to all the testbed machines
                                                                                
MACHINES="w2 w3 w4 b1 b2"
FILES="~/.bashrc ~/.bash_profile"
                                                                                
for name in $MACHINES;
 do
   for fname in $FILES;
    do
      scp -oUser=root $fname $name:$fname;
    done
 done
