Re: peculiar problem with bash

[Sivakumar Shanmugasundaram <sshanmu@xxxxxxxxx>]

hi,

i dont think so. i believe it is a problem with the
shell directive in the first line of the script.
if it has, say, #!/bin/bash, make sure there IS a
/bin/bash (or whatever the .sh file has)
hope this helps.

PS: i am an alumni of annauniv. '92 CSE. what kind of
linux setup do we have now
