> ln -sf /sbin/nash sleep > sleep 5 > nash cannot open 5: no such file or directory > Why doesnt that work? for the same reason that running "nash 5" won't work. the first parameter of nash is expected to be a script name. if you want to feed "sleep 5" into nash, you would give: sleep 5 | /sbin/nash "man nash" is your friend. -- Spiro Harvey Knossos Networks Ltd 021-295-1923 www.knossos.net.nz
