: Bad interpreter: No such file or directory
At the top, I have:
#!/bin/bash
I tried:
#!/bin/sh
But that got the same results. The permission bits are:
-rwxr--r-- root root
I'm running it as root.
No probs, I have fixed that, just re-wrote it, and it seemed to work. I have
another problem now though:
You didn't create the file in Notepad on a Windoze box did you ? SOmetimes Windoze puts odd (non-printing, so invisible) characters into text files.
You can generally fix that by running dos2unix on the file (dos2unix myFile.txt)
Tar says it can't "stat" ls, says there's no such file or directory.
here's the script:
#!/bin/bash
cd /var/ftp/backup;
for file in ls
do {
tar cf /home/backup/$file.tar.tar $file/
} done
Try:
for file in `ls .`
do {
tar cf /home/backup/$file.tar.tar $file/
} done
(note the backticks. These cause the shell to execute the command and capture the output)
Actually, the new 'politically correct' way to do this would be:
for file in $( ls . )
do {
tar cf /home/backup/$file.tar.tar $file/
} done
What is the problem?
