Hi Jim,
I have seen that sort of behaviour after the script was created with a
Windows editor (and stored on the Linux box through Samba). DOS/Windows
handles cr/lf differently.
Open that script with you preferred Linux editor (I use pico, can't learn
vi), make a dummy change which you redo after it. Maybe you should also
check where the last line of the file ends with a cr. Then save and try to
start the script.
Hope that helps.
Regards,
Michael Doerner
