please try this:
tarCheck=`ls $landingDir/*tar*`
instead of belowing.
tarCheck=`ls $landingDir | grep -i *tar*`
haha, I was using such a complicated approach! thanks

1. I put

to trace on variable's value
3. I change your if cause script from if [ -<option> <argument>] to if test -<option> <argument>
and execute the script.
I get this.
-I did part 1 (pre-setting the variable $work)
-I did part 2 (actually, clarified a few of my "debugger" statements to be more helpful)
-I did part 3 - but, did you only change a few of the if statements to if test? or did you change every if statement in the script to if test? I changed everything to if test
and STILL I'm getting the same exact error:
I've attached my copy of the script. I figure it'll be easier if you do: diff yourCopy myCopy
and let me know what's different? or post your version up and I'll do it.. because I'm thinking maybe I misunderstood one of these many past pieces of advice in this thread, and i'm not on the same page? or maybe you could run my script, and if it works than I'll know its my system that's different (though, i very highly doubt that will be the case)...? shooting for anything here. thanks again

Hi
Is there any way to turn off the (often ridiculously big) tooltips that are displayed when hovering over a topic in a topic list? It's driving me nuts.
Thx.
