Does the original script work, if you replace ls -l $outputFiles | verboseCat by \ls -l $outputFiles | verboseCat > - OLDIFS=$IFS; IFS=$newline > + # OLDIFS=$IFS; IFS=$newline > ls -l $outputFiles | verboseCat > - IFS=$OLDIFS > + # IFS=$OLDIFS > verboseMsg That would cause other problems, however. The updmap script is very clean about whitespace in directory names and not setting IFS would break this. Try: TEXMFVAR="$HOME/.texmf var" updmap (BTW: I just found that mktexlsr needs a whitespace related fix :-( Thomas
