Just for the record, if you scripts need to use bash, they should have #!/bin/bash in the shebang line. If your scripts can use any POSIX shell, then they should have #!/bin/sh in the shebang line. This should resolve any of the problems you are having regardless of which shell happens to be /bin/sh. -- Don Armstrong http://www.donarmstrong.com I finally developed a computer with feelings.
