 |
|
On my gentoo ppc system I get wierd things happening when I do certain things.
Assume I have a perl script in /usr/local/script called perlscript.pl
If I try to run it by issuing this from the CL:
/usr/local/script/perlscript.pl
it gives a can't find file or directory. If I navigate into the script directory and issue perlscript.pl I again get the same error, but if I issue ./perlscript.pl it will run okay.
Wierd thing number 2. If I run a certain init.d script it will work okay, yet a different one will cause a can't find file or directory on the !/sbin/runscript (first line) line. Examining both and they both seem to be okay, and the sbin/runscript file does exist. But why does the error occur on some files but not others? I'm currently at a loss as to why this is happening.
Any suggestions would be a big help. |

problem number 1: perl scripts aren't shell scripts. You need to issue a command like...
| Code: |
perl /usr/local/script/perlscript.pl
|
As for problem number two...I need some more info. What shell are you using? Bash? If not...most of those scripts are bash scripts. Try switching to bash (/bin/bash) and re-running the scripts.
Try to pinpoint which scripts aren't working specifically.
