shell script enquiry

chuck77 · 06-11-2003, 11:09 PM

I have wrote a shell script. This script works when i left
out the "#!/bin/sh". When i include "#!/bin/sh", it just can't
run. Any expert can kindly advise. Thanks..

*********************************************

#!/bin/sh
a=abc
b=def
c=
if [[ $c = "" ]]
then
echo same
fi

list=`find . -mtime 0 -print`
for j in $list
do
if [[ $j != "." ]]
then
echo $j
echo file name
fi
done

I think you need a space between the #! and the /bin/sh

The #!/bin/sh simply points to where ever sh lives. If it's not there, the default shell is will execute your script.

Exactly. Without knowing what distro Chcuk777 uses, we have no way of knowing what the default shell is, although most distro's use Bash. Chuck, I bet if you try #!/bin/bash instead of #!/bin/sh it will work.
