Bug Unable to source file in my script
Hi,

Code:
ls -ltrq res.file
-rwxrwxr-x   1 ora   install    4278 Nov 30 07:19 res.file
$ more test.sh
source res.file
$ ./test.sh
./test.sh[1]: .: res.file: cannot open [No such file or directory]
$ id
uid=600000014(ora) gid=63855(install)
uname -a
SunOS mymac 5.11 11.2 sun4v sparc sun4v

The same thing works fine on a Linux box.

Can you tell me why i m getting No such file or directory error when the file is in the same directory?

Without deeper analysis - check for DOS <CR> (\r, ^M, 0x0D) line terminators.

Check the PATH environment variable.

I don't see any special characters in the file.

Code:
echo $PATH
/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
$ cat -ev res.file
#By Myself$
$
# Environment Variables$
TIMESTAMP=`date "+%Y%h%d_at_TIME_%H_%M_%S"`$

Can you please suggest ?

Either change the PATH to:
Code:
PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:.

or
change the script to:
Code:
source ./res.file

Hello mohtashims,

Just a small thing here, did you try to get it in a new session, try to login to the server by a new session and have a try then.

EDIT: By seeing your error closely it may be an issue with complete path for source res.file, so is it the case like your script is in a different path and then you have to provide complete path for it, could you please give it a try and let us know then how it goes.

Thanks,
R. Singh

Even though i did not see any special M ^M characters using the cat -ev res.file i did dos2unix res.file res.file and that seems to have resolved the error.

But, any explanation please ??
