I'm wondering if it might be an ACL issue. What do 'id', 'stat "$JAVACMD"', and 'getfacl "$JAVACMD"' state about the permissions on that file and the permissions you are supposed to be able to have? That said, I haven't yet looked into the source code; if it IS an ACL issue, then it is a question of dash using stat() instead of access() (or even better, euidaccess/faccessat). --=20 Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
