    1) wrap your lines at about 72 characters.
    2) i couldn't parse your message
    3) "invalid command or file name" is an msdos error message, isn't
       it? (i get "foo: command not found" from all shells i have
       installed)
    4) you probably wanted to type "/var/qmail..." in your example
