Hello all.
Thanks for your try to help me, Johnny, Peter and Bruce.
Yes, this happens with almost all scripts. However I don't think that this
is related to the PATH, because I can even access the file directly with
it's path like '/test.sh' and the problem is the same.
I also renamed the file and this doesn't change anything to the problem
neither.
On one script that I have, it went differently:
[root@box scripts]# ./get_ipaddress
bash: ./get_ipaddress: bin/sh: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
[root@box scripts]# sh ./get_ipaddress
154.37.1.234
[root@box scripts]#
This script is the following:
#!bin/sh
CURRENT_IP=`/sbin/ifconfig eth0 | grep inet | cut -d : -f 2 | cut -d \ -f
1`
export CURRENT_IP
echo $CURRENT_IP
So it's like if it wouldn't find the /bin/sh, because it shows 'bin/sh'
instead of '/bin/sh'. Maybe this is the error ? How could I fix it then ? I
checked in /etc/passwd and the definition under root is '/bin/bash', but I
don't think that the interpreter path is read there for running scripts,
does anybody know ?
And again, this doesn't happen on two other exactly same boxes I have there
(so almost, appart of this little misconfiguration)..
My PATH is the following:
[root@anoigo bin]# echo $PATH
/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/home/dan/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin
Thanks,
Daniel
