Thanks, and also thanks to ”J” who wrote a similar reply. Yes, I moved
it to the top and now it seems to work. It still doesn't work on my
wife's computer though, I'm not sure why… She runs Ubuntu 10.04, so
maybe there are some differences there, like older bash version or
something like that. I'll take a closer look at it now.

Still I wonder why it worked with the #!/bin/bash line not at the top
when I ran it from a terminal, should it really…? Maybe because bash
is default in a terminal?


Kind regards
