@NogDogAug 05.2007 — It's most likely that the file permissions do not allow it. (Remember that your script is probably being run as a user other than your personal login account, so the file will likely need write access by all if you want your script to write to it.)

@guyjusthereauthorAug 05.2007 — soo... do i have to add that on the top of the script to log in to the server?
