On my FC7 box I wrote a bash script that my daughter wants to run on her MAC. I know nothing of the MAC. Would this work? BTW, the script is essentially a for loop that renames files.
MacOS is Unix (BSD) with a lot of stuff on top, so yes it will work, except for bugs in the script of course. For example, does it handle filenames with spaces in them?
For added fun, HFS+ is case-preserving, rather than case-sensitive, by default. If you're not careful, this can do bad things, as I learned when I used fink to install libwww-perl, and /usr/bin/HEAD wiped out /usr/bin/head.
Yes, I'd forgotten that subtlety.
