You must have be running a different bash when you check the >version - /sw/bin/bash, maybe? If you put that in your script (e.g. >#!/sw/bin/bash instead of #!/bin/bash), it should work.
Thank you all for your help. "#!/sw/bin/bash" did the trick. To avoid this confusion in the future, is there any reason I shouldn't move /bin/bash to, say, /bin/bash.ori and replace it with a link? Or is there a better solution, assuming I want to stay with OS X 10.4 for now?--Jonathan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
