The only way to do it, as far as I know, is to rename it and then create a new binary which will run after a reboot, leaving the old file there with another name. Does the script do all this, or have the rules changed? Also, in my reading somewhere, and I can't find it now of course, it was mentioned that you had to specifically ask for the /obj libs to be used, and the person didn't feel this worked well for some reason I also forget (I forget a lot lately) If you can amplify on the whys of all this, I'm sure there are others who would be very interested.
