scripts no longer running (solaris 8)
hello:

I am a somewhat experienced unix user, but brand new to this forum. I am encountering a strange new problem.

I have a shell script called foo.ksh it has been running for years (literally) on my Sun (Solaris 8) machine.

Recently we put a version of samba on this machine to streamline a backup process. now I can no longer run this script.

I have checked and reset the permissions on the file to 777 just to make sure. I have copied the file to another file name. nothing allows this to run.

Any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks

A little more information
The system is saying that the script is not found. Yet I can list it, more it and edit it.

I simply cannot run it without reading

foo.ksh not found

Your PATH probably does not have . anymore (which is a good thing!). Try:
./foo.ksh

New user opens script in windows editor
puts unwanted marker ^M at the end of every line.

Really gums up the works.

Thanks for helping me.
