01.30 Invalid shell error
Hi, I am getting the error
01.30 Invalid shell error

I am running the bash shell script in the korn login shell.
I have mentioned the #!/bin/bash statement in the my script but not sure why it is giving this error to me..

Please post the whole script in "CODE" tags.
This error message commonly comes from editing a unix script on a Microsoft platform with something like "notepad". Let's eliminate that first. What Operating System and shell do you have? How did you create the shell script?


Does your Operating System actually have "bash"?

What is the output from this command when executed from "ksh":
Code:
type bash

If you are able to run it and someone else cannot, it's either perms (including perms on directories they'd need to traverse) or their PATH is not the same as yours.
