something is causing this script to break early on
I am relatively new at scripting in linux. Most of my scripting knowledge comes from doing batch scripting in windows.

Anyway, I have this script I'm trying to write that will install a program called Nagios along with a few other packages. I know it has to be something at the beginning that is causing it to break, but I can't figure out what it is.

Here is the script:

Code:
#!/bin/bash


apt-get install apache2

apt-get install build-essential

apt-get install libgd2-xpm-dev

apt-get install openssh-server

aptitude install php5 libapache2-mod-php5

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart


/usr/sbin/useradd nagios

passwd nagios

/usr/sbin/groupadd nagcmd

/usr/sbin/usermod -G nagcmd nagios

/usr/sbin/usermod -G nagcmd www-data

mkdir /home/downloads

cd /home/downloads

wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/nagios/nagios-3.2.1.tar.gz

wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/nagiosplug/nagios-plugins-1.4.14.tar.gz

cd /home/downloads

tar xzf nagios-3.2.1.tar.gz

cd nagios-3.2.1/

./configure --with-command-group=nagcmd

make all

make install

make install-init

make install-config

make install-commandmode

vi /usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/contacts.cfg

make install-webconf

htpasswd -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users nagiosadmin

/etc/init.d/apache2 reload

cd /home/downloads

tar xzf nagios-plugins-1.4.14.tar.gz

cd nagios-plugins-1.4.14/

./configure --with-nagios-user=nagios --with-nagios-group=nagios

make

make install

ln -s /etc/init.d/nagios /etc/rcS.d/S99nagios

/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

/etc/init.d/nagios start


I'm not asking someone to rewrite this for me, I'm just trying to find some advice on what I'm doing wrong. Again, I am a newbie at this, so please forgive me if it turns out to be something stupid I'm doing.

You may want to re-run your code with bash "in debug mode", i.e. bash -x script, to get an idea of what fails where and why ...

I ran the script using bash -x and got the following output (note: I stopped the script half way so it didn't run all the way through):

The script is riddled with carriage-return characters which are showing up as "\r". This usually comes from editing a script on a Microsoft platform then copying in the script using binary ftp rather than text ftp.
The line terminator in Microsoft text files is "carriage-return linefeed" whereas in unix text files it is just "linefeed". The suplus carriage-return characters are being treated as part of the command - hence the errors.
It is usually easier to re-transfer the file than to fix it, though there are many standard quick fixes depending on what Operating System you have.

Thanks! That was the problem. I edited the format in nano and re-saved it and it did the tricks.

Thanks again! :-)
