and thanks to Mark for reducing my script to 2 lines ! d=`date +%w` ................................. Wow - speedy response for a friday afternoon, >From many people, - Thanks u all esp' Ramji 'script is attempting to interpolate a variable called $duf. In fact, you want a variable called $d concatenated with a string "uf". You express this as: ufsdump ${d}uf /dev ....' so edited as ufsdump ${d}uf /dev/rmt/0 /dev/md/dsk/d50 oh - io also got my source and dump devise wrong way round ! - going home now . ............................................
