Program Does not execute
Hi there,

When I am trying to execute any shell script.
The shell script only execute line 1 and I notice that the rest o the program was not executed. Please advise.

Code:
[root:...ktop/Script-Order/0-restart]# bash +x vmscript-4.sh

Even when I enter this command there is not output.

Code:
sudo su
cd /tmp
cp /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmmon.tar .
tar xf vmmon.tar
rm vmmon.tar
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules/fadedd9c8a4dd23f74da2b448572df95666dfe12/vmmon-only/linux/hostif.c
mv -f hostif.c vmmon-only/linux/hostif.c 
tar cf vmmon.tar vmmon-only
rm -fr vmmon-only
mv -f vmmon.tar /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmmon.tar 
vmware-modconfig --console --install-all
echo 'Running'

This is the script I am trying to run.
It is not only this script. it is just about every other script there is.

Does "every other script there is" also start with sudo su? That logs into another user, usually root, and waits for stdin. Once you terminate that session, your script will continue. You could offer commands / script on stdin, e.g. by a here document.

Either this or (IMHO cleaner):

Code:
sudo su - root -c "/here/goes/the/command -args"

I hope this helps.
