In post #5 in this thread drl gave you two scripts and showed you the output the first script produced when it was run after the second script had been installed under the name my-hilite.

It seems that wisecracker installed those two scripts on his system naming the first script Colour_test.sh and naming the second script my-hilite. When wisecracker ran Colour_test.sh it produced the output that drl showed us in post #5 and that wisecracker showed us again in post #16. I also installed those two scripts on my system with the same names that wisecracker used, and when I ran Colour_test.sh it also produced the output that drl showed us in post #5.

We are all having a hard time understanding how you installed two files named my-hilite in the same directory. But, if you had installed what we are calling Colour_test.sh in a file named my-hilite and invoked it with the name my-hilite that would indeed produce the output you showed us since that script was very busy calling itself until you exceeded the number of processes your operating system allowed to to run concurrently.

installsieve

INSTALLSIEVE(1) 					      General Commands Manual						   INSTALLSIEVE(1)

NAME

       installsieve - user utility for managing sieve scripts

SYNOPSIS

       installsieve

DESCRIPTION

       installsieve is a utility that allows users to manage their sieve scripts kept on the server.

OPTIONS

       -v <name> View script with the given name. The script if retrieved sucessfully is output to standard output.

       -l  List  all  of  the scripts currently on the server. If one of the scripts is active a arrow is printed indicating that it is the active
       script.

       -p <port> Port to connect to. If left off this defaults to "sieve" as defined in /etc/services.

       -i <file> Install a file onto the server. If a script with the same name already exists on the server it is overwritten.  Upon  sucessfully
       putting	the  script on the server the script is set active. If <file> has the extension .script it is chopped when put on the server since
       sieve names may not contain a '.'.

       -a <name> Set <name> as the active script. The list of available names can be obtained from the '-l' option..

       -d <name> Delete the sieve script on the server with <name>.

       -m <mechanism> Force installsieve to use <mechanism> for authentication. If not specified the strongest authentication mechanism is chosen.

       -g <name> Get the sieve script with <name> and save it to disk with a ".script" extension. If a file with that name already  exists  it	is
       overwritten.

       -u <user> Userid/Authname to use for authentication; by default, the current user.
