Gene, first step is to do an "ls -l" on the file to check that the modification time is up to the minute, either from "date" or the clock on the desktop. Then you know whether it is a failure to write, or LinuxCNC is not reading that file. (Gremlins don't give up unless you corner 'em real tight.) Last night I had a similar issue when changing a command line alias to a shell function in ~/.bashrc. A shell variable assignment wouldn't take, no matter how many times I sourced ~/.bashrc in the xterm. But when I instead opened a new xterm, automatically invoking ~/.bashrc in a fresh environment, it worked fine. Lesson: doubling up on ~/.bashrc can muck things up in murky ways.
