To make a shell script as portable as possible, use /bin/sh. Bash is a third party shell, that isn't included in a base installation (you're not using bash as root's shell, are you?). By using /bin/sh, you make sure the script will run without having to install any ports. Try this instead (check the "Special parameters" section in the sh(1) man page to get the difference between $* and $@ and an explanation as to why I quote the $@). #!/bin/sh mkdir "$@" Cheers, Rolf Nielsenhelp
