$ cat bin/test.sh #!/bin/bash cd /mnt/sda; ls -a I tested your script (a bit modified) and don't see the behaviour you describe. I executed the script from my $HOME which has many dirs and files. ls -a shows . and .. (since /mnt/sda is empty) and pwd (replacing ls -a) shows /mnt/sda. -- Arun Khan Linux is like a wigwam - no gates, no windows, apache inside -- http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
