I dont know much.. but try replacing #!/bin/sh with #!/bin/bash, and see if it works. because in linuxppc, there is a symbolic link from sh to bash. and there might not be the link in the debian ppc release or something. I dont really know because I dont have debian installed... how is it?
oh well, Good luck ---------- >From: "VALETTE Eric" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: [email protected] >Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: Problem with new bash "exec" shell script command on PPC >Date: Tue, Apr 13, 1999, 10:01 AM > > > The following shell script behave incorrectly with the last bash > package.
