Error running a script in nohup mode
Hi,
running this script in normal mode, no error occours

Code:
#!/usr/bin/ksh

VALUE=0
SUBJECT='sub'
ADDRESSES="aaa@gmail.com"
BODY='body'

while true
do

COUNT=$(tail -2500 /log/file.log | grep -i "error" | wc -l)

   if [ ${COUNT} -gt 0 ]; then

         echo "$BODY" | mailx -s "$SUBJECT" "$ADDRESSES"

   fi

sleep 30

done

instead, running the same script in nohup mode, occours the following error:
" ./script.ksh: syntax error at line 17: `COUNT=$' unexpected

Could you help me, please ?

Can you set xtrace / verbose, run the script and post the output?
Code:
#!/usr/bin/ksh -xv
