What shell do you normally use for the command line?

Alternatively run it explicitly using 'sh'.

  sh ./cb.sh

That will invoke /bin/sh and pass it the filename to run.  Doing it
this way avoids the need to make it executable.  It explicitly calls
the right interpreter upon the file.

Put this on line one of your little script

#!/usr/bin/env sh

save it and rerun it. This will tell the script what shell to use to
execute the commands.
