ok so if I write a script I must spesify that it should be either ash or bash. Do all versions of these provide command -v with the same functionality? Partability between UNIXes is not easy at all as most of the time the commands take different flags so you need to make versions for the different flavours. -- Preben Randhol ---------------- http://www.pvv.org/~randhol/ -- "Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent", Isaac Asimov -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
