Hi,

Let me start by saying I am a complete noob to Linux. I am trying to run a shell script which USED to run under Unix. I have everything commented out except "cd /cloverleaf/qdx5.4.1/integrator". I know this exists because I can get to it on the command line. When I execute the script I get:

: No such file or directory: line 25: cd: /cloverleaf/qdx5.4.1/integrator

The vendor hasn't been much help. They told me I needed to set and enviroment variable and sent me the following to place in my script.

/usr/bin/ksh -c `export QUOVADX_INSTALL_DIR=/cloverleaf/qdx5.4.1/integrator/sbin/hcisetenv -root ksh /cloverleaf/qdx5.4.1/integrator` imphp

When I run this in the script I get:

./CERNER_USAGE_PROCESS_TEST: line 1: export: `-root': not a valid identifier
./CERNER_USAGE_PROCESS_TEST: line 1: export: `/cloverleaf/qdx5.4.1/integrator': not a valid identifier
: not foundh: imphp


Any help would be appreciated,

Tim

It would help to see the script. If it is a Korn shell (ksh) script, those with the knowledge of ksh could help. If is a Unix Bourne shell (sh), folks with knowledge of sh/bash scripting could help.

There is a link from ksh to bash and I can get to it from the command line, however when the first line executes, I get:

-bash-2.05b$ ./CERNER_USAGE_PROCESS_TEST
: bad interpreter: No such file or directory/ksh


Here's the script. Most of it has been commented out, but I can't even get past the #!/usr/bin/ksh

Got it figured out after some digging. I found a similar post and thought about how the script was created. It was copied and pasted from a text editor which caused the code to have carriage returns at the end of each line. I re-keyed the script in vi and now it runs just like it used to.

Thanks for helping.
