#!/bin/bash and #1bin/sh command not found error on mac osx terminal/shell script
i am having a weird error on mac os x running some shell scripts. i am a complete newbie at this and this question concerns 2 scripts. one of which a friend of mine wrote (videochecker.sh) a couple weeks ago and it's been running fine on another machine.
then last week i wrote capture.sh and it has been running fine on a couple computers.
but then i tried to run videochecker.sh on a new machine that runs capture.sh fine and i got the following error:
why will one script(capture.sh) execute fine and the other (videochecker.sh) gives this weird bash error?
but then i saw they had different first lines.
one is /bin/sh and one is /bin/bash
weird thing to because the one that doesn't work on this machine (/bin/bash) has been working fine on the other broadcaster mac min for several weeks. scripts still very mysterious to me.
#!/bin/ksh
echo -en "\033|||'-'))
echo -e "\033
The above script works fine when the interpreter is ksh, but outputs the following error when #!/bin/bash is used as shebang:
test.sh: line 5: syntax error near unexpected token `('
test.sh: line 5: `case "$ACTIVATION_KEY" in +(|||'-'))' (2 Replies)

How can I find out if the script was originally designed für "sh" or "bash"?
3.) How can I check a given... (3 Replies)
