Thanks for the insight James, but the sad story is that it is a small embedded device and there is no debugger ;-( Predictably, the problem is not happening when run on a linux PC. I will try to "bt" somehow but may not be for some time. And I have tried with a "exit 0" at the end of the scriptlet though never tried the return value checks for ln. Will try that too. Thanks for all the time folks... -cheers- Ram Prakash. R James Olin Oden wrote: > On Tue, 30 Mar 2004, Ram Prakash.
