Hm, this is a bit redundant - it's not necessary to wrap pwd into process substitution and echo the results... --- #!/bin/bash pwd --- should do it. Besides, the snippet is procuding the desired result here ($pwd, not $HOME). AFAICT, bash doesn't read any startup files when called as script interpreter in this fashion, so I've got no idea why your bash is behaving that way... just out of curiosity, what does bash -c "readlink /proc/self/cwd" return? And which files does bash read on startup? (Try strace -eopen bash -c "echo 'X'" for example (calling bash with a command so it doesn't open an interactive session); or, even more interesting perhaps, strace -echdir bash -c "echo 'X'" HTH, Jan -- Jan C.
