look for a file called sysexits.h. there you can get the meaning of error codes. taken from a feroda sysexits.h: EX_IOERR -- An error occurred while doing I/O on some file. define EX_IOERR 74 /* input/output error */ well, thats not much of information. but place a 'set -x' at the top of your bash script, this might help discovering the problem. regards, Matthias
