Though I really appreciate both of your replies, I am looking at them and seeing that Marvin is saying it needs to be "+x" and Ed is saying it doesn't. I ran a test and "-x" seems to work.<br>
<br>
For questions on my syntax of "*.sh", I have believed since my earliest days that a shell file (be it ".sh", ".csh", ".tcsh", or ".bash") that it has to be "+x" as it is an executable. If I am incorrect, I would love to know, though it may take me a day or two to adjust to the news that the earth shifted polarity (smile)<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
