Thanks that was it. running /usr/lib/mozilla-1.0.1/mozilla-bin does indeed work The script calls /usr/lib/mozilla-1.0.1/mozilla-xremote-client to see if it is running so judging by the name I assume it is looking at the server for windows or whatever and not the binary running on the client(remote machine- I need to say that to my self since i have never gotten used to the display being the server :() At first I thought that really sucks but then when I caonsider that there may be many users running on the remote host how else can you check to see if this particular user is already running an instance? I don't know squat about xwindows programming but the server processes must be the expensive stuff.
