[9fans] Examples of rc scripts

[Maurí­cio CA]

Hi, all,

I found 'werc' in a wikipedia link, and used it
as a source for examples of how to use rc. Are there
other places where I can found rc scripts, as well
as other scripts for plan9 tools?

(By the way, do you know how can I attribute a
here document to a variable?)

Thanks,
Maur�cio

here are the scripts from the plan 9 distribution.

and plan 9 ports

minooka; x=`{cat <<h}
1
2
3
h

since here docs are redirection, quoting is probablly
easier to use. also if you're assigning a variable to
the here doc, you're missing the one advantage they
have: reduced memory usage.

There was a mailing list for the unix re-implementation
of rc by Byron Rakitzis, this includes many examples
and general info.

Be careful however, there are a few significant syntatic
differenctes between Byron's RC and Plan9's one, I am fairly
sure these are detailed in an appendix at the end of Byron's
paper (in the source package).

info here.

wow. big miscommunication here. when the original
site went down and i couldn't contact any of my list
of usual byron-rc suspects, i redid freshmeat's listing
to point to something active. this stuff should all
be in one place. i'm happy to do the web page as well,
or to give the freshmeat listing to someone else.
