Be careful about that in 'set -e' mode or if non-zero exit statuses will be otherwise reported. I often use one of these idioms instead: if [ -f /usr/lib/<package>/scriptname ]; then /usr/lib/<package>/scriptname; fi [ ! -f /usr/lib/<package>/scriptname ] || /usr/lib/<package>/scriptname Cheers, -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
