Hi,
Here are the output
Code:
[pooja04@cmslpc13 ~]$ uname -a
Linux cmslpc13.fnal.gov 2.6.18-308.8.2.el5 #1 SMP Tue Jun 12 11:25:25 EDT 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

[pooja04@cmslpc13 ~]$ which bash
/bin/bash
[pooja04@cmslpc13 ~]$

Also I read soewhere that chmod changes the shell, but it did not help in my case
Code:
[pooja04@cmslpc13 File]$ chsh
Changing shell for pooja04.
Password: 
Password error.
[pooja04@cmslpc13 File]$

thanks

By making the first line of your script #!/bin/sh

Or running it like sh scriptname instead of ./scriptname
