I tried with removing the k from kernel and you are correct. There is a 
possibility for fookernel, kernelfoo and other undesired matches. It 
would most likely need some of Steve's expertise. I have to get rid of

yet. I'm enjoying the fi, exit status and the correct way to do a script 
presented.
