I am not an expert in scripts at all, but I remember there is difference between interactive and non-interactive shells that could cause things like this. What happens if you try to execute a script with non-interactive command? For example: #!/bin/bash echo "I am script" And, just for a case... Are all scripts executable? (+x) -- Regards, Alex
