This is probably a common UNIX question the answer to which I've never seen - A bundled file is sent to a user with instructions to 'sh <file...>' which in the process makes directories and unpacks files... However, the 'mkdir <somedir>' fails (dont know why) & I'm left with unbundled files in my current directory... Problem -> the 'mkdir <somedir>' command did create a directory entry in '.' (current directory) BUT this new directory cannot be entered (via cd <somedir>) or recognized for deletion (rmdir <somedir> yields the error, 'directory does not exist'. What next? The <somedir> entry exists via 'ls -l' & I've tried changing owner, access rights, etc. Thanks in advance for any suggestions here...
