I have changed the mode of the scripts they are readable and executable. After searching the mail list archives @www.freebsd.org, I added the "#!/bin/sh" line at the top of the script but this didn't help. The scripts can be executed by typing "sh scriptname" or "bash scriptname" or even "csh scriptname". I obviously missed something very important here. Any help and information will be appreciated. Thank you in advance. Cecil Stoll SCCC
