Hello all,

Thanks for such a quick response.  I knew why I was "failing" the test after
the callci showjob job=aa,bb.cc, but I wasn't real sure where to go from
there.  It makes perfect sense now that you bring that to my attention.  I
guess I just need to start spending more time in the posix shell.  Thanks
again.
