Re: SUCCESS

personally i'm new, i'm stupid /w linux, and i get bored with studying 
my nursing stuff so i start looking for distractions (like scripting).  
i like rar because i used winrar on windows a lot.  i don't know much of 
anything about linux, i would like to get my fiancee's computer switched 
over to linux fc5 (later) and mine, set up an httpd server, and be king 
of the known universe too : )

honestly though i'm new and i'm messing around with stuff to learn it.  
i have been using linux almost exlusively for about a year or two now 
(close to 2).  and my *(#@*( script didn't work either.

i'll post what i have and what i think it should do, if anyone doesn't 
mind giving it a looksee i'd appreciate it.    the basic function of my 
script is to identify where rar resides, and then when i use the rar 
command with 'a' or 'x' (add or extract) what commands/ switches i want 
added.  i think i'm missing something, mind you i'm just starting out.  
i think it should be something else in there, like function rar {path} 
...... if [ "rar" = "rar a" ]; then yadda yadda.  i'm not a programmer 
though, and i'm just starting out ... i don't necesarrily need a 
"finished" answer ... just whether i should be heading in the direction 
if: function, if, loops, while, or then ..... thanks for the help and 
time reading my message
