and to a different directory other than where the current zip files

files with a wildcard overwriting existing extracted files w/o answering a

Find Your MAC Address ifconfig Mount Hard Drive mount -t fs_type /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1
The -t Option tells what file system type. The /dev/hda1 is what device to mount. The /mnt/hda1 is where to moun the device. Grab input in a scriptecho -n "password: "
read pass
echo "Your pass is $pass" Fsck File System Check. This will check your file system for errors. fsck.ext3 -f /dev/hda1
The .ext3 specifies the file type. The -f option forces a check even if all seems well. References |
