When in doubt, go into the directory where the shell script is, and try:

  ./name-of-script.sh

(the "./" is the magic part here :^) )

Well, show us what you've got.  (Just copy-and-paste the contents of
your script into the body of an e-mail.)

NOTE:  BE SURE TO REMOVE YOUR "login:password" PART, otherwise you'll be
sharing your UCD password with the world!!! :^)

NOTE:  PLEASE NOTE WHAT I JUST SAID ABOVE ;)  [*]

    Nobody every listens. :^(  The worst is when people write in cursive.
