Hello, I have just finished a new install fedora 4 and have created a simple shell script to run as a cron job. If I try to execute the script from the command line I get the following error. "bash: ./dailybup: /bin/bash: bad interpreter: Permission denied" This script is located on an nfs share and if I move to any of the other 5 fedora 4 machines on the network the script executes without error. This is the content of the script << #!/bin/bash # # mkdir -p /data/diffs/`date +%F` >> I took out the mondoarchive step and the system still gives me the above mentioned error. This is the ll listing of /bin/bash on the problematic machine "-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 680824 May 10 2005 /bin/bash" and this is the ll listing of /bin/bash on one of the non problematic machines "-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 686520 May 10 2005 /bin/bash" rpm -qa | grep bash yields the following on the problematic machine "bash-3.0-31" the same command on one of the non problematic machines yields the following "bash-3.0-31" All six of the machines have been built using the same set of cd's and options for installation. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Note: I also checked the keyboard map and all is the same. John - Registered Linux User 263680, get counted at http://counter.li.org
