Am I missing something here? What does the kernel have to do with the echo command?? Or any command for that matter. You should be able to get the source of echo built into the code of the shell, since it is a builtin shell command. Here is echo from the freebsd 'sh' shell. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/bin/sh/bltin/ Hope this helps. -aditya -- ______________________________________________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: ([email protected]) List Information: http://plug.org.in/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for mailing instructions.
