该脚本使用的算法是利用十进制和二进制数权值 (1,2,4,8,16,..)，比如二进制"10"可以这样转换成十进制：
0 * 1 + 1 * 2 = 2
为了得到单个的二进制数我们是用了lastchar 函数。该函数使用wc –c计算字符个数，然后使用cut命令取出末尾一个字符。Chop函数的功能则是移除最后一个字符。
文件循环程序
或许您是想将所有发出的邮件保存到一个文件中的人们中的一员，但是在过了几个月
以后，这个文件可能会变得很大以至于使对该文件的访问速度变慢。下面的 脚本rotatefile
可以解决这个问题。这个脚本可以重命名邮件保存文件（假设为outmail）为outmail.1，
而对于outmail.1就变成了outmail.2 等等等等...
