I would as well, since my code is written written in bash and that would make it easier on me. I had tried to do it that way before, but some folks suggested changing it to what it is now, although I really forget why. Only issue I can think of is that we'd have to be sure to pick key names that don't conflict with bash variables like UID and SHELL, which shouldn't really be that hard, so I'm sure there had to be some stronger reason to not make it shell variables... I'll dig through logs and try to figure out what it was. -- Mike Kelly -- [email protected] mailing list
