The script has been closed in the editing application (home site). When i log into the unix box and copy the script to another filename, delete the original, and then mv the file back to it's original name and location and try to execute it again via apache, it works. However, if i execute it from the command line, it works whether i go through the copy procedure or not. Does anyone have any ideas? -Mit To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
