Hmm... Okay. Then let's debug why. Try this scriptlet: #!/bin/sh ls -ld /usr/bin/mencoder type mencoder echo PATH=$PATH dpkg -l mencoder | grep mencoder dpkg -L mencoder | grep /bin/ exit 0 What does it say? On one of my Etch systems it says: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4107292 2007-06-19 00:42 /usr/bin/mencoder mencoder is /usr/bin/mencoder PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/games ii mencoder 1.0-pre7-0.0 MPlayer's Movie Encoder /usr/bin/mencoder My guess is that on your system it is installed someplace special and so is in your PATH when called from your shell but not on PATH when you are trying to run the script.
