$ ./createHAqmgr.ksh
ksh: ./createHAqmgr.ksh: No such file or directory
$

but this file definitely exists, as shown in the ls

another ksh (kshHelloWorld) can be sourced and run successfully.

And if you say

ls -l createHAqmgr.ksh

?

What does the "shebang" look like?

$ ls -l Test
-rwxr-xr-x  1 scottn staff  31 11 Feb 00:13 Test

$ cat Test
#!/user/bin/k-ess-h
echo hello

$ ./Test
-ksh: ./Test: not found
3

Please post the output from these two commands which are designed to find files with strange filenames:

ls -lab

ls -la | sed -n l
4

shebang = #!bin/ksh

$ ls -l createHAqmgr.ksh
-rwxrwxrwx 1 ivanachu users 4979 Feb 10 22:42 createHAqmgr.ksh
$

I don't understand. The shebang in this file is the same as the shebang in the kshHelloWorld which runs ok. I guess I just don't understand sourcing.

What do you get if you run the script with

ksh -x ./createHAqmgr.ksh
6

running the script with
ksh -x ./createHAqmgr.ksh

and the script runs! what is going on?

7

Your shebang is wrong...

#!bin/ksh

should be

#!/bin/ksh

Running the script as

ksh script.ksh

overrides the shebang, and as that works, suggest the shebang is wrong.

I don't know if this is the problem but you're missing a slash. It should be:

#! /bin/ksh
10

I apologize for my shell script ignorance and thank you for the help.

And I apologise for asking what the shebang looked like, and then being blind enough not to see the missing slash first time round :smiley:
