After rebooting a Sun 4/260, SunOS 4.1, I find that sometimes 'if' statements are mysteriously mishandled in the Bourne shell. Doing sh -x on the scripts reveals that some if's are evaluated and then the script dies without completing. This leaves my machine in a fairly crippled state; does anybody have an idea on how to fix it? Reboots including cold starts have no effect. -- Ralph Finch 916-445-0088 rfinch@water.ca.gov ...ucbvax!ucdavis!caldwr!rfinch Any opinions expressed are my own; they do not represent the DWR
