Any ideas? Make sure that the shebang at the top of the script (#!/bin/sh or similar) points to a valid shell, and that it uses unix-style end of lines. If a control character or linefeed gets in there somewhere, the kernel won't be able to find the proper interpreter to run the script, hence the "test.sh: '' not found." -- Fuzzy love, -CyberLeo Technical Administrator CyberLeo.Net Webhosting http://www.CyberLeo.Net <CyberLeo@CyberLeo.Net> Furry Peace! - http://wwww.fur.com/peace/
