-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: RIPEMD160 Hey thanks, that did the trick. It never occurred to me to be sure /usr/local/bin would be in the path when running startup scripts. it would stand to reason though. It is now a permenant part of my rc.local script so hopefully this won't happen to me again:) One good debugging trick here is to echo the path variable as it currently sees it; then you can add appropriately. Any how, it's all good now; thanks for the help.
