I tried reseting permissions but that didn't work. I am also the administrator on the computer and i am running os 10.6. The weird thing is it just started doing this recently. i haven't used terminal for a month so something must have happened i'm not aware of. As of right now it won't let me execute any of the programs i try to run through it.  If anyone knows whats wrong pleas help me out.

Permissions on ./startup.txt ??  It needs to be executable. Apple's repair permissions shouldn't, but might, affect "special" things like that. It surely does not in 10.3.9.

Do you mean to pass startup.txt to the osascript tool?

Is startup.text really a file? Or is it possibly an AppleScript application saved as a package?

The days of simplicity in such things are over.
