Does it start with "#!/bin/sh", or "#! /bin/sh" with a space, as you > wrote? Should be no space. The space is acceptable, even several spaces works. It must be something else. If the script was written on a windows box there may be a <cr><lf> sequence at the end of each line, depending on how it was copied onto the linux box. the <lf> is the same as the unix <nl> which is the normal end of line marker but the <cr> will make the file name in the specified path to be /bin/sh<cr> because <cr> is a valid character in a file name, although not a recommended one. of course that is not the desired file name. run the script thru the dos2unix(1) command to get rid of the <cr> at the end of the lines. If it is not that then perhaps some other non-printing character is on that line. paul -- Paul F. Almquist paul@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Eau Claire, WI USA
