Not I have noticed that serveral scripts that have been in place for a long time do not run and produce syntax errors. For example, the standard periodic script produces : $ periodic [: not found [: not found [: not found usage: basename string [suffix] [: not found Subject: picspc01.pics.com run output This is a /bin/sh script I have recomplied and made a new copy of sh but that didn't appear to correct the problem. Any ideas on what could be wrong here would be appreciated. Thanks Terry tpr@pics.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
