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 !

setusershell

getusershell(3C)					   Standard C Library Functions 					  getusershell(3C)

NAME

       getusershell, setusershell, endusershell - get legal user shells

SYNOPSIS

       #include <unistd.h>

       char *getusershell(void);

       void setusershell(void);

       void endusershell(void);

DESCRIPTION

       The  getusershell()  function  returns  a  pointer  to  a  legal  user  shell  as defined by the system manager in the file /etc/shells. If
       /etc/shells does not exist, the following locations of the standard system shells are used in its place:

	 /bin/bash		    /bin/csh
	 /bin/jsh		    /bin/ksh
	 /bin/ksh93		    /bin/pfcsh
	 /bin/pfksh		    /bin/pfsh
	 /bin/sh		    /bin/tcsh
	 /bin/zsh		    /sbin/jsh
	 /sbin/pfsh		    /sbin/sh
	 /usr/bin/bash		    /usr/bin/csh
	 /usr/bin/jsh		    /usr/bin/ksh
	 /usr/bin/ksh93 	    /usr/bin/pfcsh
	 /usr/bin/pfksh 	    /usr/bin/pfsh
	 /usr/bin/sh		    /usr/bin/tcsh
	 /usr/bin/zsh		    /usr/sfw/bin/zsh
	 /usr/xpg4/bin/sh

       The getusershell() function opens the file /etc/shells, if it exists, and returns the next entry in the list of shells.

       The setusershell() function rewinds the file or the list.

       The endusershell() function closes the file, frees any memory used by getusershell() and setusershell(), and rewinds the file /etc/shells.

RETURN VALUES

       The getusershell() function returns a null pointer on EOF.

BUGS

       All information is contained in memory that may be freed with a call to endusershell(), so it must be copied if it is to be saved.

NOTES

       Restricted shells should not be listed in /etc/shells.
