Actually, I intentionally did not use a shebang... 'mkdir -p "$@"' should work on any Bourne-like shell, although in this case '#!/bin/sh' should suffice. I'm used to writing portable scripts; anything other than '#!/bin/sh' is very non-portable, and if the script needs to be run on Bourne+ (i.e. bash or ksh), then the only options are a: try to write a wrapper that invokes the script in bash/ksh as a here-doc (or something equally ugly), or b: don't use a shebang. I generally pick the latter. -- Matthew '$ time make world' -> real 5d:14h:37m:5.291s user 0m:0.000s sys 4d:2h:14m:43.712s -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
