I have an executable file named macstat, macstat is attached with this message. i have added .txt extension to it as the file without extension was not able to attach.
Whenever i run this file on my linux pc running fedora core 4, i get the following error in terminal:
Code:
[root@ethertester ~]# macstat
Code:
/asic/common/bin/macstat:
line 16: use: command not found
/asic/common/bin/macstat: line 17: use: command not found
/asic/common/bin/macstat: line 19: my: command not found
/asic/common/bin/macstat: line 20: my: command not found
/asic/common/bin/macstat: line 21: my: command not found
/asic/common/bin/macstat: line 23: syntax error near unexpected token `}'
/asic/common/bin/macstat: line 23: `sub usage {die "Usage: macstat save|calc ethx\n";}'
The result of the command:
Code:
[root@ethertester ~]# macstat save eth0
should be:
Code:
macstat version 1.3
I think macstat is a perl file and i don't know anything about perl. A file named perl, csh and tcsh is located in /usr/local/bin.
Please help me out asap.
Thank you in anticipation.
