Talk:Scripting

It is in the wrong place, in that we have a Programming Tips and Tricks section. However, I wouldn't mind seeing a scripting-specific section - especially as some people consider scripting not to be programming. I just don't think this is the right place for it. It should either go under PT&T (as a subsection, maybe) or somewhere else.

However, the idea of calling this 'Creating New Commands: Scripting' (tying into 'commands' conceptually and by title) and leaving it here is kind of neat. Because you are creating an executable file that performs a new task - creating a new command.

Thoughts?

Still think this needs to be elsewhere.

On my box, usleep is a deprecated C function, and nanosleep is advised. For shell scripting, all I know is 'sleep'. Am I missing something?

It's policy not to sign names to articles - just to commentary.

I would say this is definitely in the wrong place, my impression was most of this was for users making transition to linux/starting to use, so why do they care about altering statup scripts, bit advanced really.

- Well yeah, but maybe this should not be the first page that is shown for scripting tips, perhaps describing what a script actually is and then a list of typical ones and their locations.
