If `$?` is -1, then script2 is not getting invoked. How do you know that script2 is getting invoked at all? Is it doing something? Can you see it in a ps statement? Please print out an error message that contains the string-ified version of `$!` (That is, put something like `print "$!"` in your code). I strongly suspect that either you're forgetting to set your PATH variable or have forgotten to make SCRIPT2 executeable. Or maybe you typo'ed the name of SCRIPT2 in your `system` statement. Either way, the complete and total lack of markup in your responses makes it exceedingly difficult to read what you're trying to say. -- `@/=map{[/./g]}qw/.h_nJ Xapou cets krht ele_ r_ra/; map{y/X_/\n /;print}map{pop@$_}@/for@/` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
