May 31st, 2008 by elizar
The Bourne shell for loop looks like this:
for arg in list do …Handle $arg… done
Real life application..
# ls -l | awk ‘{print$9}’
user01
user02
user03
user04
user05
user06
user07
user08
user09
# pwd
/home
# for x in `ls -l | awk ‘{print$9}’`
> do
> chown $x $x
> done
# ls -aslt
total 136
.. yeah you know what the output is.. ![]()
