Assuming the script is executable, it should work. But if it isn't executable, I would expect that it wouldn't work for either variant. But maybe you have two versions of 'myscript.sh', one in ~/bin and one elsewhere, where the one elsewhere is executable and the one in ~/bin is not. If not, I'd recommend reading the bash man page for helpful hints. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc. (508) 893-9779 - RFK Office 216 Dalton Rd.
