Hello again, Will.
Good idea. Here is what those files are containing exactly:
[root@box /]# cat -A /ldd
#! /bin/sh$
echo testing$
$
[root@box /]# cat -A /ldd2
#! /bin/sh$
echo testing$
$
[root@box /]#
They seem exactly the same..
BTW now, for any reason, I can create a new file in the / directory and run
it properly (before it always didn't output anything). However by creating
that in the /home directory it won't work, like before in /.
Regards,
Daniel
