Looking at the open_sesame install script which is retrieved by a link from
<http://west.ubique.com/Beta/sesame_software.html>
I counted two ocurrences of
rm -rf $some-directory
and an automatic chaining to another script, which cannot be checked
because the first one has not fetched it yet.
This sort of thing makes folks nervous. Echoing something like "about
to delete these files now, ok? (yes/no/abort)" followed by a listing of the
directory about to be wiped, would give me more confidence. Also, I
would prefer to execute the second, install, script *after* I had read
it. Just a couple of small points. Or do other folks on the list think
I am being over cautious?
