Nothing obviously wrong there (to me anyway).

I'd guess that some of your utility commands require a different
syntax to get them working. I'm not familiar with "SlamdD" as a
distribution, but I'd expect it to be similar to Slackware.

In order to test what BB is trying to do, I'd try the following:

  grep HEAD /backup/bb1.9h-btf/etc/bbsys.sh

to find what BB is using for that command. Then:

  set `/usr/bin/head -1 /backup/bbvar/logs/slime,qub,ac,uk.conn`
  echo $1

replacing "/usr/bin/head" with whatever command you got from
the first step. If the "head" command gives you an error, you
may need to get a different version. If the "echo" gives you
something other than a colour, please post the contents of the
file "/backup/bbvar/logs/slime,qub,ac,uk.conn".

Cheers, Phil.
