Hello All,

Here's the script I wrote that creates a TIC file and then calls a built-in 
MBSE utility to hatch the file:

=== Cut ===
#!/bin/sh

HATCHPWD="removed"
INBOUND=$MBSE_ROOT/var/inbound
HVERSION="1.0"


if [ "`id -un`" != "mbse" ]; then
    echo "This program may only be used by user 'mbse'"
    exit 1
fi

if [ "Password" == "${HATCHPWD}" ]; then
    echo "This script is not yet configured, first edit this script before 
use!"
    exit 1
fi

## Perform the actual hatching
FILE=$INBOUND/`$MBSE_ROOT/bin/mbseq`.tic
echo "Hatch" > $FILE
echo "Created Sean's MBSE Single File Hatch Script v$HVERSION"
>> $FILE
echo "Area $GROUP" >> $FILE
if [ "$REPL" != "NONE" ]; then
        echo "Replaces $REPL" >> $FILE
fi
if [ "$MAGIC" != "NONE" ]; then
        echo "Magic $MAGIC" >> $FILE
fi
echo "Origin $AKA" >> $FILE
echo "From $AKA" >> $FILE
echo "File $f" >> $FILE
echo "Fullname $f" >> $FILE
echo "Pth `pwd`" >> $FILE
echo "Desc $DESC" >> $FILE
echo "Pw $HATCHPWD" >> $FILE
echo -e "\n $F hatched!\n"

## Hatch the file out
$MBSE_ROOT/bin/mbfido tic
## Announce hatched file quietly
$MBSE_ROOT/bin/mbaff a -q
=== Cut ===
