I had a suspicion the issue was something like this. This is extremely inconvenient though, since now I have to change quite a few scripts, more importantly now I also have to figure out the machine my script is running on (e.g. laptop or institutes servers). I guess switching to nmap might resolve the second issue. Cheers, -- Suvayu Open source is the future.
