No it is not something else. Any of the "set" options are options that can be passed to the shell upon invocation. This is why when you type bash --help, it says to execute the following "Type `bash -c "help set"' for more information about shell options." What I showed you is where the -x option is documented in the man page. Now, in my opinion, the bash man page is as clear as mud to someone that hasn't been around Unix/Linux for awhile. That however is a different issue. Regards, Paul -- My Gentoo stuff: http://varnerfamily.org/pvarner/gentoo -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
