Some times, while scripting in your favorite shell (I mean Bash !! :) you need to print a sequence of letters or numbers. Don’t write it yourself ! Script it using seq or curly braces !
Print a sequence of number
nicolas@macvin:~$ seq 1 10
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
nicolas@macvin:~$ seq 0 2 10
0 2 4 6 8 10
nicolas@macvin:~$ echo {1..10}
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Print a sequence of letters
nicolas@macvin:~$ echo {a..g}
a b c d e f g
Hope this will help you while doing a loop or building some hash directories :
nicolas@macvin:~$ mkdir -p test/{1..10}/{1..10}
Enjoy !

Last day, I was missing of free space on my backup server and I was angry by the idea to rent a most expensive server to store my backup while I had lot of unused space on my other servers.
1. Initial platform
2. New platform
3. How to do it ?
