Hi all, Thank you for the answer. At least I know what the problem is. I am running bash. When I start up with out it everything works out great. I tried loading bash at the end but had the same problem. I think that what is happening is that /bin/sh in the scripts points to /bin/bash. I will try changing the scrips to /bin/ash and see what happens. That will have to wait till tomorrow though. I will let you know how it goes.
