Using mkdir() doesn't cut it... Gary: On most UNIX systems that I know about there is a mklost+found command located in the /etc directory, but if your system doesn't have it, here is the shell script called mklost+found: --- cut --- cut --- cut --- cut --- cut --- cut --- mkdir lost+found cd lost+found echo creating slots... for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 a b c d e f do tee ${i}1 ${i}2 ${i}3 ${i}4 ${i}5 ${i}6 ${i}7 ${i}8 < /dev/null tee ${i}9 ${i}a ${i}b ${i}c ${i}d ${i}e ${i}f ${i}0 < /dev/null done echo removing dummy files... for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 a b c d e f do rm ${i}1 ${i}2 ${i}3 ${i}4 ${i}5 ${i}6 ${i}7 ${i}8 rm ${i}9 ${i}a ${i}b ${i}c ${i}d ${i}e ${i}f ${i}0 done cd .. echo done ls -ld `pwd`/lost+found --- cut --- cut --- cut --- cut --- cut --- cut --- That should do it. -franco%mikey.bbn.com@relay.cs.net
