This only occurred to me last night. When I put the command into my script
without preceding it with 'exec' it appears to work. According to the
references I've found for exec, (including its man page), the command allows
you to wrap the arguments of the target command so that the underlying code
receives them correctly. My rdate command includes one switch and one
argument, so how come it works without the exec prefix?
