Well, if your list of commands already is a script, then including it would be the most convenient method. Let's say your list is called "script" then . <path_to_script> would do it... In other case here is a small executor script which reads your file line by line and executes it: #!/bin/bash # file: executor while read line; do echo Executing: "$line" eval "$line" done < "$1" If you start the executor with your file as the first parameter, it will execute the lines one by one. # ./executor script -- bye Adalbert -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
