It might help to chmod it +x if it doesn't "just work" (although that should only be necessary under fairly rare circumstances). Also if you use a windows-based editor like notepad or wordpad (write), you'll need to run "d2u" on the file to convert the line-endings from DOS-style CR/LF to unix-style LF-only before it'll work correctly. cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today.... -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
