Fair enough. I don't know much about dash, but I know if you proceed the name of a script by 'sh', the script will execute even if it has no execute permissions. bash-3.2$ ls -l testcc.sh -rw-r--r-- 1 drkirkby staff 4781 Dec 8 16:35 testcc.sh bash-3.2$ sh testcc.sh GCC bash-3.2$ Anyway, it does not matter when the code is added to determine seconds since the Epoch, since the top of $SAGE_ROOT/spkg/install has #!/usr/bin/env bash In this case, the code will be run with bash - irrespective of what shell you use. >> I'm still puzzled though I must admit, why it says "No such file or >> directory", >> since the file clearly exists.
