Today I've been having weird problems executing scripts.
As I have no valuable data on the partition containing Debian, I
wiped it and did a fresh install of Debian Jessie (8.6.0) MATE
desktop environment from a purchased set of DVDs. Earlier today I
had had reason to create an *,iso of DVD1 of 13 using xorriso.
The ISO had a MD5SUM matching the one at debian.org .
More than a half-century of trouble shooting *screams* 'operator
error' ;[
But what????? [Caja reports the execute bit is set ;]
Cut-n-paste from MATE terminal:
root@full-jessier:~# #!/bin/bash -x
root@full-jessier:~# cd /media/root/myrepo
root@full-jessier:/media/root/myrepo# RCO
bash: RCO: command not found
root@full-jessier:/media/root/myrepo# ls
lost+found new file RCO x2 xtract2 (copy)
root@full-jessier:/media/root/myrepo#
The content of RCO [with Linux line endings] is:
F='dvd8_'
N=0
E='.iso'
echo ""
while true
do
read -p "press Enter (Ctrl+C to exit)" dummyvar
let N=N+1
FILENAME=$F$N$E
echo $FILENAME
echo ""
echo "*********************"
done
Assistance appreciated.
