Create the following script (below). The #! /bin/sh sould be the first
line. Make the file executable with 'chmod 700 filename'
then run it. ./filename
Look at the output and make sure all of the "Creating......."
lines look correct. If not, you might have to tweek the script.
When it looks right, uncomment the mkdir line and run it again.
Worse case senario is you might create a public_html where you didn't
want on. If it's just a few, delete them manually. (Beats creating
200+ manually.) Or if the file already exists, or path doesn't
exist, you might get some error. No big deal.
