Hi Larry, Sorry about the double post - the mailserver reported that it had (a) stripped the attachments and (b) blocked the post. It obviously lied. If you call it with pdksh instead you should get: / 200 200 200 200 200 200 sr/bin 200 200 usr/lib 200 200 So it sounds pdksh related. Cygch

Hi All, I hate difficult-to-reproduce issues :( It makes accurate reporting difficult... We have a crontab which runs scripts that check whether a DBMS is accessible, doesn't have inappropriate locks in certain DBs, dumps databases, etc. During the time database dumps are running some of our sc
