Well, if you want one, why don't you write one?

#!/usr/bin/sh
typeset -i LO=${1}
typeset -i HI=${2}
while [[ ${LO} -le ${HI} ]]
do
echo "${LO}"
((LO += 1))
done
exit 0

You really should try to do a little on your own before you ask for such a simple script. If you are preparing for a test, don't bother. I have already assigned your grade.

If that's what you really want, then see prior solutions.

However, I don't think that is not really what you want.

What is the real problem you are trying to solve?

Why do you want to use a million dollar solution to provide such a trivial list?

What will the list be used for?

The 'right' answer to your simplistic question depends on the 'real' problem you are trying to solve.

Agreed?
