Just learned a trick about that from (http://iptables-tutorial.frozentux.net/chunkyhtml/x4983.html). Temporarily replace #!/bin/bash with #!/bin/bash -x That prints out everything as the script proceeds which is extremely useful for debugging. (Probably one of those things virtually everybody knows who has worked seriously with scripts, but I was not aware of it until a few days ago.) Alan __________________________ Alan W.
