Thanks Karl. I can repeat the error now. It is indeed very ugly!!! I'm looking to see if I can use something like: command = setroot + " sh -c '%s'" % command for the sudo commands, instead of command = setroot + " " + command.replace("|", "| %s " % setroot) It is working on the limited testing I've done but need more testing. If you get a chance, could you check if that fixes it for you. Thanks, Graham -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
