Hi Billy,

Sorry if you've already done this, but just to be sure: Your process'  
fileName should be "/bin/sh" and your first arg is the .sh file you  
want to run (because you're outside of bash).

This works for me on 10.5:

	    	using (StreamWriter shScript = File.CreateText("simple.sh"))
             	{
                 	shScript.WriteLine("#!/bin/sh\n");
                 	shScript.WriteLine("echo It worked!");
                 	shScript.Flush();
             	}

             	Process shScriptProcess = new Process();
             	shScriptProcess.StartInfo = new ProcessStartInfo("/bin/ 
sh", "simple.sh");
             	shScriptProcess.Start();

 From terminal:

		$ mono ShDemo.exe
	 	It worked!
