sorry, i missed out some things. I think the promp > happens when the statement is unfinished (no "fi"). Should be: debpc:# if [ -n df /mnt | grep -ie "/dev/hdc1" ] ; then echo "yes" ; fi However, this gives the error: [: missing ']' grep: ]: No such file or directory -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
