That script runs without any problem on my Linux box.
My first thought was that perhaps you had carriage returns in the file, but that doesn't seem to affect the script. However, try removing any carriage returns as a first step; it can't hurt.
After that, check to see whether there are any other non-ASCII characters in the file.

I have a simple csh-script on a Solaris Workstaion which invokes the bc calculator:
#!/bin/csh
set shz=2
set zshift=5
set shzp=`bc -l <<END \
scale = 3 \
-1. * $shz + $zshift \
END`
echo $shzp
The result ($shzp) in this case is 3 (-1*2+5). It works fine on Solaris 8.

I notice that su - user (note with dash) brings in more of the user's environment than does su - user -c 'command'. For example, if root does an su - user, and types "umask" to the prompt, one umask is displayed; yet, if instead the command is su - user -c 'umask', the value is different. I thought... (2 Replies)

Hi, awk seem to be acting differently in Unix and Linux when it comes to formatting. This is making it difficult to migrate scripts.
for example:
UNIX:
echo "123" |awk '{printf ("%05s\n" ,$1)}'
00123
echo "123" |awk '{printf ("%05d\n" ,$1)}'
00123
echo "S12" |awk '{printf ("%05s\n"... (9 Replies)

UPDATE-PROFILE-CACHE(1) General Commands Manual UPDATE-PROFILE-CACHE(1)
NAME
update-profile-cache - (re)generate profile assignment cache
SYNOPSIS
update-profile-cache
DESCRIPTION
Running this script (re)generates the cache of profile assignments used by desktop-profiles. By default this script is run automatically
once a day by a cron script.
NOTE: No cache of assignments will be generated in cases where cache use isn't supported by desktop-profiles (at the moment caching pro-
file assingments is only supported in the simple case when no group or command requirements are used for activation of profiles,
i.e. when we have a static machine-wide profile assignment).
FILES
/etc/desktop-profiles/*.listing - Files containing the metadata about installed profiles
/etc/default/desktop-profiles - File containing default settings for this script
