I know they;'re not called batch files in Linux, but how can I write a simple file to do a command I usually type in at the command prompt. I tried putting the line in a file and I think I set permissions right, but it doesn't do anything. For example I have the command /home/irlp/scripts/backup_for_reinstall I'm wanting to put this in a simple file that does this command as a bat file would in dos. Thanks. 73s Butch Bussen wa0vjr
