my understanding is that the OP (you have deleted the original post) 
wasn't getting it to run at all.

he had a funny sign in front of the command which I thought might be 
an artifact produced by his email. he should be sure to invoke the 
command as

./spadmin

assuming he is in the same directory or give the whole path (without 
the leading dot).

I have it but it seems to belong to openoffice in my case (on this 
machine) and seems to require 'sudo' to invoke it as it's owned by 
root.
