 I I type "head -v" at the command line I get the following:

If I type "head" at the command line I get the following:

Usage: head [-options] <url>...
    -m <method>   use method for the request (default is 'HEAD')
    -f            make request even if head believes method is illegal
    -b <base>     Use the specified URL as base
    -t <timeout>  Set timeout value
    -i <time>     Set the If-Modified-Since header on the request
    -c <conttype> use this content-type for POST, PUT, CHECKIN
    -a            Use text mode for content I/O
    -p <proxyurl> use this as a proxy
    -P            don't load proxy settings from environment
    -H <header>   send this HTTP header (you can specify several)
    -C <username>:<password>
                  provide credentials for basic authentication

    -u            Display method and URL before any response
    -U            Display request headers (implies -u)
    -s            Display response status code
    -S            Display response status chain
    -e            Display response headers
    -d            Do not display content
    -o <format>   Process HTML content in various ways

    -v            Show program version
    -h            Print this message

    -x            Extra debugging output

There's no -n option!

In the original script, is the wrong program being called?

Cheers,

Chris

That looks odd! On *nix systems the "head" command is a tool for printing the 
first few lines of a file, and the '-n' option is used to specify how many 
lines. So why your OSX thinks "head" has something to do with URLs and HTTP 
is rather puzzling.
