any changes you make in a shell script that you run *normally* are not reflected in your current shell, as shell scripts are typically run in a subshell. so setting variables, or changing directories, will not affect what's happening at the command line ... ... unless you run the script by "sourcing" it, as in $ . (scriptname) the "." represents a command that will run the script at the current (in your case, command line) level. rday -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
