good idea, but I dont think its the one
Thanks Oombera
Still not taking it
# which convert
/usr/X11R6/bin/convert
and
# whereis convert
convert: /usr/X11R6/bin/convert /usr/bin/X11/convert
which seem to be aliases of the same proggy
substituting the full path
/usr/X11R6/bin/convert ‐resize 120x120 "$searchfile" "$tndir"
and unquoted
/usr/X11R6/bin/convert ‐resize 120x120 $searchfile $tndir
yeilds the same problem.
What your saying reminds me of all those times I was banging my head trying to get a script called 'test' to work..... but alas it doesn't seem to be my problem on this occasion. The quest continues....
My Bash powers are weak but my next guess is to use 'here document' or command substitution... am I thinking right? How would I recast the syntax to use an alternative method of calling convert?

getusershell
getusershell(3C) Standard C Library Functions getusershell(3C) NAME
getusershell, setusershell, endusershell - get legal user shells SYNOPSIS
#include <unistd.h> char *getusershell(void); void setusershell(void); void endusershell(void); DESCRIPTION
The getusershell() function returns a pointer to a legal user shell as defined by the system manager in the file /etc/shells. If /etc/shells does not exist, the following locations of the standard system shells are used in its place: /bin/bash /bin/csh /bin/jsh /bin/ksh /bin/pfcsh /bin/pfksh /bin/pfsh /bin/sh /bin/tcsh /bin/zsh /sbin/jsh /sbin/pfsh /sbin/sh /usr/bin/bash /usr/bin/csh /usr/bin/jsh /usr/bin/ksh /usr/bin/pfcsh /usr/bin/pfksh /usr/bin/pfsh /usr/bin/sh /usr/bin/tcsh /usr/bin/zsh /usr/xpg4/bin/sh The getusershell() function opens the file /etc/shells, if it exists, and returns the next entry in the list of shells. The setusershell() function rewinds the file or the list. The endusershell() function closes the file, frees any memory used by getusershell() and setusershell(), and rewinds the file /etc/shells. RETURN VALUES
The getusershell() function returns a null pointer on EOF. BUGS
All information is contained in memory that may be freed with a call to endusershell(), so it must be copied if it is to be saved. SunOS 5.10 30 Aug 2004 getusershell(3C)
