Why not invoke it with either $ lyxdbg or $ lyxdbg -x /usr/local/bin/lyx-1.2.2 And probe the command line inside the script. Something like: EXECUTABLE=lyx if [ $# -ge 2 -a "$1" = "-x" ]; then EXECUTABLE=$2 fi which ${EXECUTABLE} > /dev/null || { echo "Unable to find \"${EXECUTABLE}\"." exit 1 } Angus
