Hmmm... I would like to point out that this will (most likely) only print the default shell which is set in /etc/passwd (which should be fine in Kai's situation). If the current shell needs to be determined, it's better to use "echo $0". Example: bash$> echo "$SHELL + $shell + $0" /bin/bash + + /bin/bash bash$> ash ash$> echo "$SHELL + $shell + $0" /bin/bash + + ash ash$> ksh ksh$> echo "$SHELL + $shell + $0" /bin/bash + + ksh ksh$> tcsh tcsh$> echo "$SHELL + $shell + $0" /bin/bash + /bin/tcsh + tcsh Cheers, Th. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
