Hi, I've got that, the only thing, when I run the script first hand, I get: : Bad interpreter: No such file or directory At the top, I have: #!/bin/bash I tried: #!/bin/sh But that got the same results. The permission bits are: -rwxr--r-- root root I'm running it as root. No probs, I have fixed that, just re-wrote it, and it seemed to work. I have another problem now though: Tar says it can't "stat" ls, says there's no such file or directory. here's the script: #!/bin/bash cd /var/ftp/backup; for file in ls do { tar cf /home/backup/$file.tar.tar $file/ } done What is the problem?
