somehow, my shell (/bin/ksh) doesn't like the { ... } syntax here: $ cd src && { touch a b; mode3=2755; ./ginstall -Cv -m$mode3 a b } > it waits for the command to be continued ... I can't see why Replacing the { ... } by ( ... ), it prints this: $ cd src && ( ./touch a b; mode3=2755; ./ginstall -Cv -m$mode3 a b ) removed `b' `a' -> `b' Bye, Berny
