Knowing a bit about shell quoting, I suggest the following if Fred's
suggestion above does not work for you Tim:
RN /bin/sh -c "echo something > /tmp/your-filename-here"
My understanding of the "-c" option to most shells (from reading `man
bash`, etc.) is that they expect a complete command as a single, quoted
argument, especially if you want the invoking shell (/bin/sh in this
case) to perform the redirection.
Hoping your mystery is getting closer to being solved!
