No, it's looking for a command "". The ":" is _after_ the command name. Normally the error would look like: bash: foo: command not found Typical causes for this are variables nnot set, yet being used. For example, a script saying: "$cmdvar" blah blah blah where $cmdvar is expected to hold the name of a command, but hasn't been initialised. There are a few other possibilities too. If you have an example script which will produce this error message then the best was to diagnose it is to go: bash -vx the_script The -v recites script lines as they are read, and the -x recites commands as they are issued. You should thus see the shell line which causes the error, the bogus command issued, and the error in theat order, yileding a clue to the cause. -- Cameron Simpson, DoD#743 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.zip.com.au/~cs/ The wicked man shall be punished for his own wickedness, for he shall never find inner peace and will seldom be given the really good tables at tearooms. - Gardner _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
