Thanks so much. one observation. in my ~/bin/cupscript.sh, I notice that the file is rw.r..r.. (644) or it has not execute flag set. but it is owned by me. If I want to execute the script, normally I'd chmod it to add x, execute it and then put it back the way I found it. Also, cupscript.sh seems to be related to cups-pdf.
