434013 2006-02-28 02:44:00 Have you tried the . ./file form? The extra fullstop (with the separating space) sometimes makes a script work. ;)

ls -l /bin/sh is worth a look, too (on both machines). It might be a symbolic link. But I think that if it is actually missing, your system wouidn't have booted up. Just about all the system startup scripts use /bin/sh .

If your rendition of the error message is exact, (: bas interpreter: ...it's a bit suspicious -- that first ":" should have the name of the complaining programme preceding it.

Have a look at the script with an editor ... it should show any non-rpinting characters which might cause problems. Make sure you haven't got a blank first line ... where that #!/bin/sh should be.

have a good day every1.
