I have found the problem. I feel really stupid, but maybe someone will make the same mistake and find this in the archives. I had changed the mount options for the volume containing the scripts to 'user,defaults'. For some reason that turned off execute permission on the entire volume, without notifying ls of the fact. So ls showed the script as executable; whereas in fact it was not. Adding the 'exec' mount option fixed the problem. -- hendrik > > The script is as follows: > > #!/bin/sh > nohup gnucash /home/parents/accounts/05/work & > nohup gnucash /home/parents/accounts/05/home & > emacs /home/parents/accounts/05/0journale /home/parents/accounts/05/0Policy & > > Executing the command > > nohup gnucash /home/parents/accounts/05/work & > > directly from the shell worked.
