Don't apologize, I was just joking a bit. Bash is a command-interpreting
program (shell). It can interpret an arbitrary number of commands, which
obviously includes one. What You wrote before suggested that You want to
pipe the ouput of the cvs command to grep. This can only be done if You use
a program like bash as the value of executable attribute, and pass it in the
-c parameter the actual command You want to execute. It is in fact a shell
script, albeit a very simple one. Hope it helps.
Cheers,
Chris
