thats what i thought. dont know how it happened though. wierd thing is the box is running ok apart from the cron jobs that i guess are relying on sh. i hate to ask this question but if i havent got /bin/sh i take it i need to reinstall the sh shell????

i can sense the impending doom already, but how do i go about this??

This is a test box luckily so no impact to business etc. so i could do with suggestions on what i should do next ? if i can get the cron jobs runnning do i really need the sh shell since my root user uses ksh etc
