Oh?  Since when?  Neither is /home/gene/log, but I use that regularly in 
several scrips and from the command line since I have a 
user=me "tail -fn100 log/fetchmail.log" running in a console tab right 
now.  I long ago got sick and tired of fighting with permissions on 
stuff in  /var/log that I ought to be able to read, and moved stuff that 
belongs to me to /home/gene/log, including in the logrotate scripts.

If that syntax is now broken, somebody forgot to tell my mostly wheezy 
system.

FWIW, I do have /home/gene/bin in my $PATH, and there is no difference in 
how the stuff in gene/bin runs. I put it early in the path so I could 
override what may be in more conventional paths on this system with many 
years of cruft accumulated. But now I can type "mailwatcher 2>&1 
>/dev/null &" or "bin/mailwatcher 2>&1 >/dev/null &" and either works.

I had a heck of a time getting it unpacked, similar problems. If eagle 
wants to be a cast iron bitch about who can run their stuff, it IS 
eagles problem now, I  have enough of gEDA running to get the job done.

Thanks Curt.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
