I have the following:
-rw-r--r-- 1 archives archives 8041 Jul 13 2006 .resource-new
-rw-r--r-- 1 archives archives 7856 Aug 9 2006 .resource-old
Which contain a bunch of mhonarc macros (at least that is what it looks
like). It is called from mk-mhonarc like so:
if [ `echo $month | awk -F. '{print $2}'` -le 200607 ]; then resourcefile=.resource-old else
resourcefile=.resource-new fi
Sincerely,
