If the above is a script file then you need \ at the end of the line eg xboard -fcp /home/roy/chess/crafty/v18.14/crafty \ -fd /home/roy/chess/crafty/v18.14 assuming v18.14 is the directory with the executable in. Frank #!/bin/bash xboard -size Large \ -fcp "/home/crafty/crafty logpath=./log" \ -fd "/home/crafty" \ -tc 5 -inc 2 -mg 500 \ -thinking -ponder \ -sgf "/home/fp/chess/zzz.pgn"
