follow up question....
I have actually posted this for almost a year now.
Have patience to review it again.

thanks for this script.
the script will take the inputs from:
files="/dev/MAKEDEV /etc/makedev.d /usr/sbin/mksock"

To make my script smaller, I need to create a file which lists all the files that I need to find . Then my script will take the inputs from that file instead of typing it all in the script. How can i do that?

Thanks,
warren
