    Smile Thank you :)

    Thank you,

    I am currently try to solve a problem in a script I am doing under bash shell. I have a script named Runlevels with a menu in a while loop with 7 options.
    1st option: rc0.d, 2nd rc1.d, etc.. till rc6.d and a Back option which goes to previous menu in another script. I want to show the user(root)only which i did a validation, the /etc/rc.0d folder contents by filtering the output with ls -l {S,K} when pressed the option1 and do the same for all the runlevels. All i want to do is give an access to the folders, see what services are running and give the option after showing the services to deactivate or activate a service..

    Dont know if my way of doing this is correct. however i tried to use a wildcard in the script and is not working properly. when I am running the wildcard in the bash shell it works.

    I will appreciate any guidance

    Howdy and welcome to linux forums alexlondon. Your 2 problems will probably get better attention and coverage in the Linux Programming & Scripting section of the forum. I would split up the problems into 2 different threads there. Good Luck, and Happy Thanksgiving.
