I normally use sh to execute a shell = file even=20 though some examples don't do it. I figure it has to do something with = my shell.=20 And than there are other times its not a script, but an executable file. = Some=20 files I can't run. Is there a command to man for this op? Or something = to get me=20 started?

For example:

# var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup blah = /bin/checkpassword=20 pwd

invalid command or file name - couldn't = do a sh=20 either. And I am running from route.
