Aha, I've got that on another PC here with Mandrake 9.0. So...let me see...ah, yes indeed: "/bin/sh -> bash". Hmmm, wonder why Mandrake has that? Anyway, the conflict arises when using the /bin/sh on my FreeBSD system. >>Instead of "you writing semi-sh script and having me testing it for you", >>I suggest you install the real "sh" on your OS and write & test the script >>yourself :) Wouldn't that be more sensible? > > > it might but I was hoping it wouldn't take long to fix those two > things.. and up until now I thought I was using sh..

I won't be "on-line" until second week of January. I hope you or someone else can deal with these minor problems. But I like your script and the way it eases the procedure to get a backtrace. It should go into some subdir of CVS any time soon. Cheers, Rob.
