RE: [cNFS-Users] Question from a newbie

[Warnes, G. R <gre...@gr...>]

Most unix shells convert the sequence $$ to the process ID of the shell.  To
create a file with these characters from the shell, you need to excape the
dollar sign characters, like so:

	touch filename\$\$CLIENT\$\$

The double dollar-sign character was explicitly chosen so that it would be
very unlikely to appear in any normal file name...
