I'm fairly embarrassed to ask this, but I can't see why I'm having the
following problem (and as it's the weekend I don't know who else to
ask!):

$ who am i
cyborg     ttyp3        Nov 25 12:40
$ id
uid=200(cyborg) gid=100(cyborg)
groups=100(cyborg),50(group),102(cybdev)
$ pwd
/u3/cyborg45/bin
$ l runonline
-rwx--x--x   1 cyborg45 cyborg       211 Nov 24 09:34 runonline
$ type runonline
runonline is hashed (./runonline)
$ runonline
/bin/ksh: ./runonline: cannot open
$

Why won't it run the script runonline? 

Many thanks in advance!

wild guess, you are not the script owner, just a group member ... group
has execute but not read permisions .. try chmod 755 ing it .. 
(assuming that that is what ksh is trying to say here .. I am only
familiar with bash) certainly with perl they wont run in execute only
you need read as well ... depends whats in the script I guess

ps is this cyborg as in the cobolesque pyroll thing or something else?

r.

I did wonder about that - I'll give it a try!
