Why don't you just have a look?

I'm not sure I understand what you are suggesting (I know, I'm thick) ... I know that my shell is /bin/sh (same as on the university's computer), and I know that the script is executing somewhat, so I don't think I need to be root to run it properly. What am I looking for? I'm trying to figure out why it's not executing EXACTLY like it did on the Sun OS server. If it could somehow make a difference, I did copy the folder holding the script onto a floppy from a Windows 2000 box at work, and then copied it into my home directory on my Linux box. steve
