Bash tcsh Script runs in terminal but not folder
So, I made a script beginning with #!/bin/bash on gedit.

And I double clicked it to run in terminal and I end up with "The child process exited normally with status 127" and "command not found".

If I run the same script from the terminal as "tcsh (script name)" it runs just fine.

If I copy and past the individual command from my script to the terminal, it runs fine too.

Usually at my work place, double clicking scripts into the terminal works. What do I need to do to be able to run the script with double click on this computer?

Thank you.

p.s. this is my first post.

service

service(8)						      System Manager's Manual							service(8)

NAME

       service - run a System V init script

SYNOPSIS

       service SCRIPT COMMAND [OPTIONS]

       service --status-all

       service --help | -h | --version

DESCRIPTION

       service runs a System V init script in as predictable environment as possible, removing most environment variables and with current working
       directory set to /.

       The SCRIPT parameter specifies a System V init script, located in /etc/init.d/SCRIPT.  The  supported  values  of  COMMAND  depend  on  the
       invoked	script,  service  passes  COMMAND and OPTIONS it to the init script unmodified.  All scripts should support at least the start and
       stop commands.  As a special case, if COMMAND is --full-restart, the script is run twice, first with the stop command, then with the  start
       command.

       service --status-all runs all init scripts, in alphabetical order, with the status command.

EXIT CODES

       service calls the init script and returns the status returned by it.

FILES

       /etc/init.d
	      The directory containing System V init scripts.

ENVIRONMENT

       LANG, TERM
	      The only environment variables passed to the init scripts.

SEE ALSO

       /etc/init.d/skeleton,
       update-rc.d(8),
       init(8),
       invoke-rc.d(8).
