Argh! Sorry about that. If it's any consolation, I'm relieved it's 'just' working directory lost, although I understand that this can be a pretty big deal :-( > Think I understand you - the data had not been recorded, so it was truly > lost. I assume an un-pull could not recover data in this case? That's right.

Well I know that you have a system to keep you on top of things, so please do take your time. I would advocate just starting by submitting what you have as a test case (it's pretty simple; the key to the test cases is [a] they are shell scripts and [b] any non-zero exit code is treated as a failure unless explicitly accounted for). -- Eric Kow <http://www.nltg.brighton.ac.uk/home/Eric.Kow> PGP Key ID: 08AC04F9
