Are you executing this as root? If so, root only runs programs in its' path -- you'd have to do something like a "./telltime" if that were the case. Yes, you should be able to cat the file as a plain text file (that's what it is). Try doing a "chmod +x telltime" to give everyone executable access and see if that works. -- Regards, | Debian GNU/Linux - http://www.debian.org - More software than . | *any* distribution, rock solid reliability, quality control, Randy | seamless upgrades via ftp or CD-ROM, strict filesystem layout | and adherence to standards, and militantly 100% FREE Linux!
