[plug] Need to learn basic scripting

[bwarff]

with simple scripting like that, all you need to do is put those lines into a file,
and make the file executable.

it also helps to tell the shell which interpreter to use (in this case itself),
you do this via a hash-bang trick on the first line of a file.

eg:

-----------------snip--------------------------
#!/bin/bash
ifconfig eth1 down
ifconfig eth1 up
ip route add default via 172.24.192.5 metric 0
smbmount //ptcpms01/data /home/user/Kdrive/ -o
username=XXXXXX%XXXXXXX,fmask=644,dmask=755,uid=1000,gid=100,debug=0,workgroup=XXXXXXXX
smbmount //wafile02/data /home/user/Idrive/ -o
username=XXXXX%XXXXXXX,fmask=644,dmask=755,uid=1000,gid=100,debug=0,workgroup=XXXXXXXXX
----------------end snip------------------------

if this file was called work-net.sh, then you would make it executable with
"chmod 700 work-net.sh"

then ./work-net.sh would run it...
