IMPORTANT INFORMATION — READ FIRST

# ----------------------------------------------------------

# I do not use the standard Linux script execution method.

# I store my scripts in:  ~/bin

# This folder is already in my PATH which means:

#   I can run scripts from ANY directory

#   I do NOT use ./ before the script name

#   I do NOT use .sh file extensions

#

# Example:

#   Just type:  upgrade

#

# I set my scripts to be executable using:

#   chmod +x upgrade

#

# USE AT YOUR OWN RISK

# These scripts make system changes. You are responsible

# for any impact they may have on your system or data.

# I accept NO responsibility for any damage, loss, or issues.
