cannot run script file
 

My OS is Debian Wheezy on a raspberry pi.
I am trying to run a script file which starts with the hashbang line #!/bin/sh and get the error message No such file/ folder. In debug mode (#!/bin/sh -x) i get the following message
/bin/dash: 0:illegal option -
I have tried everything I can think of with no success.

Any help or suggestions gratefully received

FYI - Your Profile Distribution: has a typo in it.

Recommend you post your script using the # menu item in the Go Advanced editing function.
It should look like this...

Probably /bin/sh is sim-linked to /bin/dash, or there is no sh shell and only dash shell is available. Dash is believed to be limited in functionality. So try /bin/bash hashbang and see what happens.

You can try this to find available shells in your system.

The above cmd is a good idea; I also recommend

Thanks to all for replies but no help. I have tried all available shells but always get the same message "Bad interpreter no such file or folder"

I see you have windows in your profile.

ms adds cr-lf to the end of each line.

are you editing it in windows ?



also, try running this: cat -A script.ksh

Hi everyone.I have at last fixed my problem.The file is a shell file and all that I could find said that the hashbang line must be line 1.
I moved that line to the first line after the INFO block and hey presto it works.

What 'INFO' block?

script info block
 

LSB compliant files start with an INFO block. the first line is ### BEGIN INIT INFO then follows several lines of information about the script each beginning with a # the last line is ###END INIT INFO. That is where I had to put the shebang line.
