"chmod uga+x myscript" Is the script in a directory thats listed in the search path $PATH ? If not, the following makes a conventional place to keep your scripts and adds it to $PATH <code> cd ~ mkdir bin mv myscript ~/bin </code> and add the line "export PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH" to the end of the ~/.bash_profile. Then logout and login. You should now see /home/myuser/bin as the first entry in $PATH. Use 'echo $PATH' to check and should be able to run the script. Try 'which myscript' to check that its now executable and in the path. Martin
