in [General Linux]

From: Todd on 2 Apr 2010 15:26 Hi All, There is a smb shared file out on my Samba Server that I would like to read from a bash script. Is there a way to do a one time read from my bash script without having to mount the share? Something like: cat smb://server/netlogon/startup.bat \ -u=todd -p=foo | grep -i set > $0.tmp Many thanks, -T

I want to do it on the fly.
