Hi Alexis, Your second script just needs to be changed a bit on the 'if' line. It should read: > if [ $TERM == "linux" ] ; then Here's what my machine said: $ if [ $TERM == "linux" ];then echo yes; else echo no; fi no $ if [ $TERM == "xterm" ];then echo yes; else echo no; fi yes $ if [ $TERM == "tty1" ];then echo yes; else echo no; fi no $ Hope this helps. -- Arend _______________________________________________ Seawolf-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/seawolf-list
