I guess you missed the first line #! /bin/bash
or the file tools now does not detect shell scripts correct.

Re: scripts don't execute. Solved, buy why?

[Ronald Steele]

I just found the following line fai.log (which I didn’t see the other 20 times 
I gripped the log)

File uclient01/50-copy-file has unsupported type ASCII text.

So, I copied an exiting file to the one I wanted and changed the 
contents.  This works.  I’m stumped as to why.

Surely Linux doesn’t store text encoding as part of the file type.  Isn’t ASCII 
a subset of UTF-8?

I’d love an explanation.  

Thanks,
Ron

P.S.  I’m using GNU emacs as the editor which created the original, problem, 
file.

Check if you are using the correct config space.

Can you upload your fai.log, shell.log and an output of your scripts folder?

Re: scripts don't execute

[Ronald Steele]

Yes, it’s excitable. That was my first thought too.
ls -l reports
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root …

The same permissions are on the directory, which matches all the other script 
directories.

Are you sure that your script in /- got chmod +x ? Without
execution flag the script will not get executed.

scripts don't execute

[Ronald Steele]

I’m trying to use scripts to install application software.   The scripts never 
get executed.
If I embed the same script code into to one of the existing scripts (say 
CENTOS) the code works, however any scripts I create are never executed.
The script’s file permissions are the same as the existing scripts.  The class 
name is defined in .../class/50-host-classes and appears in the log files in 
variables.log and fai.log (but never in shell.log).

Thanks for any ideas.

Ron
