Remember, under Unix it is not *the* shell but rather *your* shell. I suppose that your WebCat is entitled do use the shell commands you need. Maybe you have troubles with the proper line breaks? If you develop with BBEdit than try to separate commands with simple returns and save your template with the option Unix linebreaks. And finally upload as binary.You might use OTSessionWatcher to see what the server returns. At least this works with news servers. > I need to manage .htpasswd files for 3 sites from one admin page.

Anyone have a {yuk} perl > script that'll do this?We work with .htaccess and WebCat in a couple of sites, no problems. I cannot tell details because I'm not the one who does it. But I know we have one or more perl scripts which are called by WebCat. Calling Perl might be a better way than involving WebCat in too much shell-jobs.
