Hello,
I am trying to create a simple bash script that will run on a linux box and when invoked, go through a specified directory and remove the the oldest directory contained there in. This is perhaps not the optimal forum but I am hoping that someone out there can lend an assit before I lose my mind.
Running from the command line the ls* line executes fine, run from a script it does not.
In what way does it not execute? What happens? Do you get any error messages? Any output?

Also, if I attempt to perform ls /eq36/srmd/data/backups -1A | wc -l again in the loop to update the DirCount, it does not work.
Please enclode code in [code] tags.

Where have you initialized $DirCount?

Have you looked at the output of ls -t /data/backups | tails --line=1? That's what you are passing to rm.

I have now uploaded the original, unchanged file, which still doesn;t work.
Evertime it is run ot says bash: ./nrcardprint: No such file or directory

Detailed interface description follows.
indent

Default indent is calculated as TTY_WIDTH-10. If current tty width can not be determined (for example, in case of serial console), it
