LyX is executing the commands directly, AFAIK. That's why it's crucial to have a so-called "shebang" at start of a script. If it's missing the script gets executed by the login shell. For scripts installed and used system-wide this is not good. I have the #! line at start of all of my own scripts. Stephan
