Same ideas as before, obviously bash breaks things that are written with an ashen mind :-) Most backup scripts are located in /usr/sbin They use /bin/sh. On my system /bin/sh links to ash. If you install bash this is probably changet to bash. gatekeeper: -root- # ls -l /bin/sh lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Nov 18 01:02 /bin/sh -> ash Now you could change this by rm /bin/sh ln -s /bin/ash /bin/sh You would have to make sure that the new installation of bash does _not_ overwrite /bin/sh again, so happy hacking. But then you can easily add a script to /etc/init.d which takes care of that. BTW. Why exactly do you use bash? >robert von Knobloch in the very snowy Black Forest Altitude?
