Your best option is "#!/bin/sh" at the top of all of your scripts. Then you will always have a consistent syntax. By your posting it sounds to me like you have not been putting a #! line in your scripts and have been taking "post-luck" over whatever shell the user is running at the moment. That will cause you no end of grief. Bob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
