Nothing in there is going to change the working directory. For example: $ pwd /home/wjl/tmp $ cat <<EOF >test.sh #!/bin/bash echo $(pwd) EOF $ chmod a+x test.sh $ ./test.sh /home/wjl/tmp If you think you're having magic changing directories, I think you'll need to post more information, like the exact script you're using, and EXACTLY how you are running it. =) -- Wesley J.
