Re: OPS Navigator multiple file permissions






Serious question, Rob - are you going to submit a DCR on the OpsNav 
problem 
you describe? It is pervasive in OpsNav - it is one of the main complaints 

I had from the start. I will rarely use the printed output window, espec. 
to change output queue. The developers of OpsNav needed to look at the 
Properties item in Windows Explorer when you have selected multiple files 
-- the attributes that are common to all selected items are enabled, those 

that have limited application are grayed out. This would not be hard - an 
array of Booleans that contain the Enabled setting for all the check 
boxes, 
etc., would do the trick - do a logical and of the settings for each 
object 
type.

OTOH, the ablility to sort by various columns in printed output is very 
handy, espec. for deleting spooled files.

BTW, grep means "Get Regular ExPression"

This is very sane, compared to a couple *NIX-ish things

ping => Packet INternet Groper
perl => Pathologically Eclectic Rubbish Lister (the favorite - there's a 
boring one, too, I believe)

Of course, there is always GNU, which means "GNU's Not Unix" - a recursive 
TLA.

If you will be submitting a DCR, let us know. If not, I might actually do 
one myself and stop cursing the darkness.
