Perhaps whatever the command is being run at line 240 doesn't like the "-e" option, or much more likely a variable is being passed as a command to execute and its either getting munged, the $PATH at that point doesn't contain a reference to the directory where that command is found, or something like that. I'd put a debugging statement in something like "echo $VARIABLE" and remember that sometimes you need to escape the $ (eg \$) depending on various things. Post a reply with line 235-245 of /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit, please. _______________________________________________ yellowdog-general mailing list [email protected] http://lists.terrasoftsolutions.com/mailman/listinfo/yellowdog-general HINT: to Google archives, try '<keywords> site:terrasoftsolutions.com'
