Confusing!!

1. In UNIX, special characters are reserved for special functions and
special care must be taken to not have these characters interpreted during
code execution. As a result, using UNIX specific device names as names for
your TSM resources is asking for trouble!
2.  Why aren't you using some mnemonic names that make sense to humans such
as IBM3584, or DRIVE1, DRIVE2, etc.?
3.  Why would you have written a script to do something that is done so
infrequently?  How many times a day do you rename you libraries and drives?
