An empty string is incorrect: ay:~> TIME_STYLE= ls -l ls: ambiguous argument `' for `time style' Valid arguments are: - `full-iso' - `long-iso' - `iso' - `locale' Try `ls --help' for more information. So, you should set it to "locale" (this is OK since the script sets the locales to C). -- Vincent Lefèvre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.org/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.org/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / SPACES project at LORIA
