Neat tip from Mark. I'll hafta keep that in mind. Note that your /bin/sh has the same size and date as your /bin/ksh.

While I categorically refuse to use shell extensions in scripts, I know that some (most?) distributors employ BASH extensions. (To which end they SHOULD have coded "#!/bin/bash" instead of "#!/bin/sh" in whatever script(s) have such dependencies.) Probably someone (and you said they're not admitting it) had a preference for KSH and made a copy. Should have been a link, better, should have been left alone. And yeah you can ding the distributor for sloppy coding there too. -- R; ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
