Convert this Windows script so I can use it on Macbook

Hi guys,

I am been banging my head for days on something that appears too simple to be so hard for me.

I have this bash script which I used just fine on my windows PC.

I took this file over to my Macbook and try to run it and it fails like no tomorrow.

This is the contents of the file:

Code:

#!/bin/bash
 
GM=$1
 
 
if [ "$1" == "-h" -o "$1" == "--help" -o "$#" -ne 1 ] ; then
  echo "$0 <GM_IPaddr> "
  echo " Provide the IP address of the Grid Master as the one argument to this command"
  exit 1
fi
 
 
wget --no-check-certificate https://${GM}/api/dist/CPA<wbr ></wbr>N/authors/<wbr ></wbr>id/SHARK
 
PerlPkg=`cat SHARK| grep "tar.gz" | awk -F'"' '{print $2}'`
PDIR=`echo $PerlPkg | sed 's/.tar.gz//'`
 
wget --no-check-certificate https://${GM}/api/dist/CPA<wbr ></wbr>N/authors/<wbr ></wbr>id/SHARK/$<wbr ></wbr>{PerlPkg}
 
tar xzvf $PerlPkg
 
mv $PerlPkg $PDIR
 
rm -f SHARK
 
cd $PDIR
   pwd
   /usr/bin/perl ./Makefile.PL
   /usr/bin/make
   /usr/bin/make test
   /usr/bin/make install
cd ..
 
##### End Script #####

Would someone be so kind into converting this so I can run it on my Macbook.

I may be wrong....
I think Mountain Lion using curl options using that URL bombs out until i am able to download a file named "SHARK"

Other errors seem to be due to MacOS being picky about arguments.

For example, it looks like it require the 'dash' prefix to the tar arguments, whereas any other normal Unix system does not.

Thank you in advance !

bf_tar

BF_TAR(1)																 BF_TAR(1)

NAME

       bf_tar - shell script to write a tar file of a bogofilter directory to stdout

SYNOPSIS

       bf_tar [-r] [-R] bogofilter_directory

DESCRIPTION

       bf_tar bundles a bogofilter working directory in tar format and copies it to standard output (your console, or where you redirect it, see
       EXAMPLES below).

OPTIONS

       The -r option causes bf_tar to remove inactive log files after the archive has been written successfully. The default is to leave log
       files.

       The -R option causes bf_tar to remove inactive log files before the archive is written. This may reduce chances that the resulting archive
       is recoverable should it become damaged. The archive may be smaller though. The default is to leave log files.

EXIT STATUS

       The script exits with status code 0 if everything went well, and nonzero if it encountered trouble.

EXAMPLES

       o  bf_tar ~/.bogofilter > outfile.tar

	  Writes a standard .tar file containing the essential files from ~/.bogofilter to outfile.tar.

       o  bf_tar ~/.bogofilter | gzip -9 -c > outfile.tar.gz

	  Writes a gzipped .tar.gz file containing the essential files from ~/.bogofilter to outfile.tar.gz.

       o  bf_tar `pwd`/mydirectory > outfile.tar

	  Prepend $(pwd)/ or `pwd`/ if you want to specify an absolute path instead of a relative path.

NOTES

       This script is meant for use with Berkeley DB based bogofilter versions.

       This script requires a SUSv2 compliant pax utility.

       This script expects a SUSv2 compliant shell. Solaris systems should have the SUNWxcu4 package installed (when bogofilter is configured) so
       that /usr/xpg4/bin/sh can be used.
