Hi Steve,
Long time no chat.
The scripts were tar'd off a Mandrake linux system then untar'd on a
SuSE system. Something has got munged in the process I guess.
What I'll do is a make really clean and then tr the whole thing to add
\n instead of \r and start again.
Cheers
Robin

Note that there is a '\r' character at the end of the #! line.
And that's the cause of the problem. The kernel is scanning for
'\n' and when it finds the (unix) end-of-line character it then
tries to exec the program "/bin/sh\r" and fails.
Was the original script created on a windoze box perhaps? Or was
a different method of getting a \r used? :)
Cheers,
Steven Schultz
