#!/bin/sh script is in white colour
Hello friends.

I realize that my question is naive, but I really want to know, why one of my scripts is in white colour (I mean letters in the body are white) while 3 residuary are multicoloured. I'm asking because I have a little problem with this particular script. It's absolutely the same as its twins from another boxes. Script generates logs from the dataexport and should put the date (s_date=`date +%m-%d-%Y_%I%p`) in the name of log. Somehow it is not accomplished. I wonder, because everything is OK with that script exept the fact that the date is missed. May be there is some connection between those two problems: the body of the script is white and the date is missed.

I'm sorry if it sounds obfuscative.
Thank you in advance,
Maria.

Where are the letters white?
What are you looking at? The script? The output of the script?

What does "residuary" mean?

If there's an error, it's probably on line 42.
