Hello, it's me again. This time I'm trying to do some shell scripting=20 but I'm running into a problem with a randomization script that I found=20 on the web. The script I'm trying to run can be found at: http://www.bsdbooks.net/shells/scripting/randomvar.html#PICKCARD. Everything runs fine on different Linux systems that I've used (Red Hat 9,=20 Knoppix-STD, PHLAK) but when I run the script on FreeBSD or OpenBSD I get=20 errors. I'm mainly running FreeBSD 5.3-BETA right now with /shells/bash2=20 installed so that's where I'd really like to get it running. I did change the first line to point to /usr/local/bin/bash but that=20 didn't make any difference. If anyone knows why this won't run, or if anyone has another example of=20 getting a random character (I'd eventually like to generate a random=20 hexadecimal character) I'd love to hear from you. Thanks, Ben
