That has been suggested a couple of times but it doesn't work. Yes, it will keep the script from exiting. However, the script's parent shell exits, so it gets inherited by init. Also, the script will not have a controlling tty. When you log in again, you don't have a way to re-attach to it, or to adopt it. I will probably do something involving "screen", or seperate the two halves of the procedure. -- "Cryptography is nothing more than a mathematical framework for discussing various paranoid delusions." -- Don Alvarez <URL:http://www.subspacefield.org/~travis/> -><-
