Is the script in your PATH? In the directory the file resides in use a "./" before the file. For example if I have a shell script in /home/kent/script while in /home/kent I would - $ ./script to get it to work. Once I'm satisfied with the script I'll put it in /usr/local/bin (which is in my user path) or /usr/local/sbin (which is in my root path). hth, kent -- I'd really love ta wana help ya Flanders but...
