Good day all! We are getting an error in the logs: ../.bin/extraddr: subscription request from who@domain.tld who@domain.tld - assigned cookie s03261058491490 sed: -e expression #1, char 4: Unexpected ',' Would this refer to the comma in the maxcookies line near the bottom of confirm_add? How to fix? $cat $confirmtxt $echo "" $rm -f _dummy_ `$ls -td cookies/* | $sed -e '1,'$maxcookies' d' ` $sed -e 's/^/>/' $tmprequest ) | $SENDMAIL $sendmailOPT $authaddr I don't know enough about sed (find all shell hard to grasp), but other programming experience tells me the two sets of ' are ambiguous or confusing. Is this what was meant - a delet range 1-to-maxcookies - okay to drop the inner quotes? $sed -e '1,$maxcookies d' Many thanks in advance for any assistance. Jo
