My understanding was that he objected to the script failing when a conffile doesn't exist (valid scenario), or is not executable (valid scenario).
If somebody actually requests that a nonexecutable conffile not be run, then if [ -x $conffile ]; then $confile; fi; for more fine-grained error handling. But unless someone actually asks for a nonexecutable conffile to not be used (and I don't see that in Eduard's request), I would just source it or run it with sh. -- Clear skies, Justin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
