The error says you are using incorrect ksh path in the first line...but your script shows you are using sh

type the below command and use the first relust in the script

Code:
$ whereis sh
sh: /bin/sh /sbin/sh /usr/share/man/man1p/sh.1p.gz /usr/share/man/man1/sh.1.gz
$ cat usernames.sh
#! /bin/sh
case "$0" in
*/*) cmd="$0";;
*) cmd=`which "$0"`;;
esac
dir=`dirname "$cmd"`
