To make a shell script as portable as possible,=20 use /bin/sh. Bash is a third party shell, that isn't included in a base=20 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)=20 man page to get the difference between $* and $@ and an explanation as=20 to why I quote the $@). #!/bin/sh mkdir "$@" Cheers, Rolf Nielsen
