RE: Bug in my shell script

["Taylor, ForrestX" <forrestx taylor intel com>]

Doesn't the sed part substitute anything that ends with .sts with nothing,
and nothing ends in .sts.
Maybe if you put sed -e 's/\/home\/guests//g' --that seems to work by
itself.  You should need the echo "" | sh, because it will already run in
sh.
