It could be that it's a wildly different version of ksh, or that it's trying to find an executable of that name in $PATH or something crazy. I think I was actually testing with an old pdksh that I had lying around. But here's the thing: No matter what messages you get, I can guarantee you that, if you don't own that file, and it's -rwx------, either you can't use it or your system has a security hole the size of a large continent. -s -- Copyright 2010, all wrongs reversed.

Could it be some command in that file causing the "not found" error?

I'd check the access permissions on /testing and /testing/test. This is just a guess since I am not a ksh user. Bash reports "permission denied" in such situations so it is a long shot. -- Ben.

Seebs: It seems I dont have necessary access to login as the owner of that file to execute it. I will check with my superiors here. For now, the user permissions is our best bet. Bill: The env file is strictly used for intializing variables that are then accesses in subsequent files. There is not command which is getting executed in this file. Ben: Thanks Ben.

According to the permissions you show, only the owner can read, write, or execute it. Ed.
