edit by bakunin: First off: use the CODE-tags you agreed to use when you accepted the rules. I edited them in for you, but you should do that yourself. Second: do not hijack threads. We can afford another open thread and we want one thread to cover only one question. There is no need to put your question at the bottom of another thread. Third: you wrote your question in the AIX-forum, where it clearly not belongs to. Not only reduces this your chance for an answer, we have several specialised boards for a reason. Take more care in selecting where you post. Fourth: to urge an answer only one hour after you post is harsh, no? We are no helpdesk and if you need assistance within a certain time - hire an expert instead of posting here.

The most vital informations are missing: which system do you use, which error happens, are there any dagnostic messages, what should the script do in frst place and in which way doesn't it do this, etc..

Mutual respect affords you to put as much effort in phrasing a question as you expect anyone writing an answer to put into answering it. And if anyone answers giving the answer as little effort as you put into the question: do you expect such an answer to be helpful?

I suggest thinking this over. You might get more and better answers that way.

I hope this helps.
