OT: Help with simple Linux maintenance

[Shahar Dag]

Hi

If it is working from the terminal command after command, it seems that the script is not waiting for the "completion" (meaning waiting till all the side effects are done) of one command before it starts the next.
It seems that the easy way to test it, is to put a large sleep between every 2 commands
(I am sure that there is a more elegant way to solve this, but I don't know it)

  She shouldn't have to pay someone. Either a Netvision tech should help
  her, or she should move to Bezeq Beinleumi. I know, I know, about both
  companies' reputations, I have been a Netvision customer since 2001
  and Bezeq Beinleumi was once considered terrible. Today, Bezeq
  Beinleumi gives great Linux support (they have the old Actcom staff)
  and Netvision are thieves who want our money, not our business. They
  deserve neither.
