When i try to run script in Linux, i get an error:
Code:
./MoveToHistory_ROAMING.sh[229]: too many redirections

What is the reason?

Thank you.

What about checking line 229 of "script MoveToHistory_ROAMING.sh" at first before posting here or at least posting the content of that line?

dear annar,

mind if you run your script in debug mode which will show you in details and show us that detailed error with the executable lines .

Also you can add the following line right after specifying the shell your script uses:
Code:
set -xv

I hope it helps!
