Did you write the script on a windows system, then copy it over to a
linux system (I noticed you are using a Windows email client)? This
error can be due to problems with carriage return/line feed characters.
Your script syntax looks fine - this error will be due to the file
format, permissions or the shell environment.
BTW - if you broke your apache startup script, just install/re-install
apache to recover it. Easier than trying to reinvent the wheel :)
