Overview

The MLK-Tools are a set of scripts I've developed over the years during my time working as UNIX-SysAdmin, in an attempt to make my life easier because I'm "lazy" (I do prefer writting 1000 lines of code than repeating the same command line twice...). I'm still engaged as UNIX-SysAdmin so I think that these utils might be usefull for some other fellows.

To tell the truth, by now they are a front-end for some other UNIX commands, such as tar + gzip, or even for programms developed by others. Whenever I have time, I'll re-code almost everything to make it more "independant".

The tools were/are developed using Korn-shell which is, I think, a good way for achieving things using system-independant tools; so you don't need to have Perl or a C/C++ compiler installed on your box, althought I'm sure that someone would be willing to port this Ksh-stuff to either Perl, Python or any other higher-level programming language. If you do so, please let me know! That would save me some hours of coding :-)
