The second fails because the file isn't executable, so it's not a command. The third fails because ListAvailable is not a normal writable file (I don't have a guess what it is, though). Enter "ls -ld List*" and it will (probably) tell you something useful. If you are expecting files in the "Desktop" directory to be commands, that's not normally the case. -- Bill Davidsen <davidsen@xxxxxxx> "We have more to fear from the bungling of the incompetent than from the machinations of the wicked." - from Slashdot -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
