>From a syntax perspective, the right-hand side of a dcmd is a collection of strings, unless the $[ ] syntax is used to evaluate an expression. So what you actually want to say is: 10>n ::walk proc | ::head -n $[<n] but if you do this, you will see a core dump because ::head's option processing is completely busted. If you like, you can go fix this trivially and then you'll be able to do as above. -Mike -- Mike Shapiro, Solaris Kernel Development. blogs.sun.com/mws/
