Using "&>" is bash specific syntax. I expect that it was executed with /bin/sh which is not bash by default. /bin/sh is dash, a posix shell, by default and won't have bash extensions. And even if /bin/sh happens to be bash then bash will be operating in standards mode and won't have that syntax then either. Try this portable shell redirection instead: /home/peter/script IN_MODIFY /home/peter/script >/home/peter/result 2>&1 Bob
