Let's start with iteration. Just inform us when your mouse<br>
gets dizzy from going in circles...<br>
<br>
<br>
for i in `cut -d: -f1 /etc/passwd`<br>
do<br>
if ! echo "Linux party in 5 minutes" | write "$i" 2>/dev/null<br>
then<br>
echo "You missed a great Linux event" | mail "$i"<br>
fi<br>
done<br>
<br>
If that's hard, let's take something simpler -- try to achieve<br>
what pipes are doing with a GUI -- here is a starter for you:<br>
<br>
ps -ef | cut -c53- | awk '{print $1}' | sort | uniq -c | sort -n<br>
<br>
(the result is left as an exercise to the reader).<br>
<br>
This doesn't mean there aren't tasks that are easier with a GUI.<br>
As a generalization, GUI is simpler for rarely used tasks (because<br>
it guides you), while command-line rules for repetitive tasks.<br>
