'/usr/share/bin' does not normally exist. You have just created it (as a file). You can read about the purpose of '/usr/share/*' over in the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS): http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#USRSHAREARCHITECTUREINDEPENDENTDATA "The /usr/share hierarchy is for all read-only architecture independent data files.". Perhaps you were after '/usr/local/bin/' ? -Paul -- Why do one side of a triangle when you can do all three.
