Can you create the sample script on /dev/shm, chmod it 755, and try to run it. The "noexec" mount option over-rides attributes that chmod sets. E.g. on my machine... [d531][waltdnes][~] chmod 744 /dev/shm/hw [d531][waltdnes][~] ll /dev/shm/hw -rwxr--r-- 1 waltdnes users 32 Dec 27 19:10 /dev/shm/hw [d531][waltdnes][~] /dev/shm/hw bash: /dev/shm/hw: Permission denied [d531][waltdnes][~] -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
