Re: Off topic: Unix Script Help Needed

Hi Siva,

 There can be may ways of doing it, but here is a simple way to do that, give a try with this or tweak around to make it work.

#!/bin/sh
# Execute first to pick up every entry in master.conf, the second loop will take every entry from #master.conf and loops till end and assigns the name and value to the NAME and VALUE, # call_other_program can be passed with NAME and VALUE as arguments to the rest.
for i in ` cat master.conf`
do
for j in ` cat $ i`
do
NAME=`echo $j | cut -d "=" -f 1`
VALUE=` echo $j | cut -d "=" -f 2`
call_other_program $NAME $VALUE
done
done

Thanks
Srinivas
