This is happening because root usually does not have the current directory in the PATH for security reasons. You did try the correct ./renamer.pl syntax below. > [EMAIL PROTECTED] cgi-bin]# > > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] cgi-bin]# ./renamer.pl & > [1] 10297 > [EMAIL PROTECTED] cgi-bin]# bash: ./renamer.pl: Permission denied This is because the permissions shown -rw------- 1 root root 1731 Mar 5 21:49 renamer.pl only allow read and write, but not execute. chmod 755 renamer.pl will add read and executable permissions for all users to the file/program. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
