Hi, Better but I now get: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/osmosis-0.24$ sh do_it Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassFormatError: com.bretth.osmosis.core.Osmosis (unrecognized class file version) at java.lang.VMClassLoader.defineClass(libgcj.so.70) at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass(libgcj.so.70) at java.security.SecureClassLoader.defineClass(libgcj.so.70) at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(libgcj.so.70) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(libgcj.so.70) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(libgcj.so.70) at gnu.java.lang.MainThread.run(libgcj.so.70) [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/osmosis-0.24$

Please add a backslash after the first two lines, otherwise the shell assumes that it has to run three commands, one calles "java", the next called "--bounding-polygon" and the third called "file=". Your script should look like: --- cut here --- java -mx1024m -jar osmosis.jar --read-xml file=uk-080227.osm \ --bounding-polygon file="MyArea.txt" --write-xml \ file="MyArea.osm" --- cut here --- > And I get: > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/osmosis-0.24$ sh do_it > ... > gnu.java.lang.MainThread.run(libgcj.so.70) do_it: 2: --bounding-polygon: > not found [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/osmosis-0.24$ This output supports my theory about your shell script.
