thx for the suggestions all, i've fixed the issue. the trouble was that i had an if statement that was evaluating $ADMIN like so: if [[ $ADMIN -ne "" ]]; then this likely had the @ being interpreted as a regexp. i changed it to if [ -n "$ADMIN" ]; then and that tests the empty string. i'll post the script after i've optimized it further and added better debugging outputs. cheers, jake >/Alexander
