The last command is of the form "bash -c string file". "bash file" reads commands from a file, but "bash -c string" reads commands from the string instead, and apparently ignores the file argument. The file argument is normally omitted when "-c string" is used. --Mike Bird -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
