BTW, to try bash, you can simply run the command "bash". ps will now show three processes (I just started the Bourn Shell, sh, from the bash shell): $ ps PID TTY TIME CMD 5315 pts/1 00:00:00 bash 5670 pts/1 00:00:00 sh 5671 pts/1 00:00:00 ps "exit" kills the second shell: sh-3.2$ exit exit $ ps PID TTY TIME CMD 5315 pts/1 00:00:00 bash 5680 pts/1 00:00:00 ps Martin
