HI
Sorry..
My bad...
The make is +x..

Though I really appreciate both of your replies, I am looking at them and seeing that Marvin is saying it needs to be "+x" and Ed is saying it doesn't. I ran a test and "-x" seems to work.
For questions on my syntax of "*.sh", I have believed since my earliest days that a shell file (be it ".sh", ".csh", ".tcsh", or ".bash") that it has to be "+x" as it is an executable. If I am incorrect, I would love to know, though it may take me a day or two to adjust to the news that the earth shifted polarity (smile)
Thanks,
Paul
Apples and Oranges..
If you use sh... In the command line. as
sh ./filename The file does not need to be executable.
if you do
./filename You need to have the x bit set...
And I agree with you.. When I write shell scripts I use a .sh extension. Just to make it easy on myself.. It help me identify .sh from .txt files..
