Aha - you were right it wasn't working cause of the expansion.
I replaced the #!/bin/sh with #!/bin/bash in the run file and it now
works. Is this a solaris problem? If not, how come the script works when
using sh on other systems?
I dont know why I'm having so much trouble on this systems, very strange.
Now when a client connects the log says:
@400000004038ab8a38c539dc ld.so.1: /var/qmail/bin/bincimap-up: fatal:
libstdc++.so.5: open failed: No such file or directory
Cheers for your help,
Adam
