Hello,

I have installed a 3rd party tool called jspider in redhat 8.When i tried to run the same using ./jspider.sh i got a message like this

[root@siva bin]# ./jspider.sh
: bad interpreter: No such file or directory


Then i tried with using sh jspider.sh then also got an error message but this time a different one.it is as follows and the important thing is there is no 16th line

[root@siva bin]# sh jspider.sh
------------------------------------------------------------
JSpider startup script
: command not found
jspider.sh: line 16: syntax error: unexpected end of file


I am giving the entire shell script down below


#!/bin/sh
# $Id: jspider.sh,v 1.3 2002/12/24 10:52:22 vanrogu Exp $
echo ------------------------------------------------------------
echo JSpider startup script

if [ ! -d "$JSPIDER_HOME" ]; then
echo JSPIDER_HOME does not exist as a valid directory : $JSPIDER_HOME
echo Defaulting to current directory
JSPIDER_HOME=/home/tony/tcs/jspider/jspider
fi

echo JSPIDER_HOME=$JSPIDER_HOME
echo ------------------------------------------------------------

java -cp ../lib/jspider.jar -Djspider.home=$JSPIDER_HOME net.javacoding.jspider.JSpider $1 $2





i am a beginner .So please do reply

Things looked different when I ran the same in mine Siva. And yeah, welcome to linuxquestions.org.

[mufeed@gateway shell]$ ./siva
------------------------------------------------------------
JSpider startup script
JSPIDER_HOME does not exist as a valid directory :
Defaulting to current directory
JSPIDER_HOME=/home/tony/tcs/jspider/jspider
