I couldn't figure out how to use install to do that. I misunderstood the question. The alternative is mkdir -p /n/gold/5/gurari/WWW/temp/.; cp images/a.png /n/hold/5/gurari/WWW/temp/. The first command "mkdir -p" is idempotent. So if the directory exists it does nothing. Regards, Kapil. -- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
