Shawn, I don't know how Linux works, but both GNU's cp and Solaris's cp does this: $ gcp -R -p /tmp/lwv /tmp/lwv26 $ In other words, no output is produced. There is a $? return code that is 'returned' - but it's not output to stdout or stderr. -- Support Internet Radio <URL: http://saveinternetradio.org/ > Larry W.
