I knew I'd heard of that before. I didn't realize it was outdated tho. |

Trust me, my scripting is awful. I have a script that I use to backup |
| 42 |
my /home directory. I wanted to add a section that will make sure the |
| 43 |
external drive is mounted first and stop if it isn't. I googled, found |
| 44 |
some nifty examples. Sort of makes sense, sort of. Still no clue how |
| 45 |
to make it work for me tho. lol So sad. |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
Some things I get and can pick up fast. Some things I can't quite grasp |
| 48 |
no matter what I try. Scripting seems to fall into that last category. |
| 49 |
It's pathetic. |
