That sounds worrisome. There's no such animal as "sh" anymore, just a symlink to whatever. Wouldn't it make sense to explicitly specify "#!/bin/bash", rather than "#!/bin/sh" and hope+pray that /bin/sh symlinks to something bash-compatable? Or if bash is too heavyweight, howsabout explicitly specifying "#!/bin/busybox ash" and making sure that scripts run properly under it? -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
