Bash location:
$ whereis bash
bash: /usr/bin/bash /usr/share/man/man1/bash.1.gz

Attempt to run script:

paul@mx:~
$ls r*
remove.sh

$ ./remove.sh
bash: ./remove.sh: cannot execute: required file not found

If I click on remove.sh in Dolphin, I get:
execvp: No such file or directory

The script is marked executable.


The script itself:
_______________
#!/usr/bin/bash
#
echo "Hello World"
ls
_______________

I've also tried it with the shebang:
#!/bin/bash

I was originally trying to use the script to delete a file. I was then going to schedule it as a job. But when it wouldn't work I kept simplifying the script until I was sure it was some kind of system/script problem, not a command within the script.

Thanks for any guidance.

cat -v remove.sh

Code: Select all

paul@mx:~
$ cat -v remove.sh 
#! /usr/bin/bash^M
#^M
echo "Hello World"^M
ls^M
paul@mx:~

sed -i 's/\r//' remove.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash

I get the result:

$ ./remove.sh
/usr/bin/env: ‘bash\r’: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/env: use -[v]S to pass options in shebang lines

which I have no clue about.
