Bug Shell Scripting Error
When i run the script firecall.sh,i am getting a weird error.


Code:
[!]root: ./var/ADMIN/bin/firecall.sh d12381
./var/ADMIN/bin/firecall.sh: ?osrc: command not found
./var/ADMIN/bin/firecall.sh: ?osrc: command not found

The script is successful,but the error interests me...Any Ideas??


The script is appended below.
[!]root: cat firecall.sh
#This script locks the User Account specified after 2 hrs.Remember to provide the D-id to be locked as the Input Variable after the Script name in the command prompt.

#Command to Lock the User Account after 60 sec.
(sleep 60 ;passwd -l $1) &
exit
