'/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/' ?

Ha ha! Thanks to everyone who replied... your right! I was trying to put
the shell script into the common directory thats in your normal path as
a user /usr/local/bin. I blame turning 40 this year :-P
Anyway the "cp" command wont allow you to overwrite a directory with a
file normally will it? I thought Id just missed the trailing space and
begun to worry.
Thanks to everyone who replied :-)
