Yup, that's your problem. This file is a DOS text file, so its end of line is a <cr><nl> (0x0d 0x0a) instead of just <nl> (0x0a). Normally, that doesn't matter because most Unix utilities are multi-eol-format aware, but you can't have it in the shebang line because the OS interprets the extra carriage as part of the command, so it is looking for /bin/sh^M, which doesn't exist. Use a utility like dos2unix or some a decent text editor to convert this to a Unix file format and you'll be good to go. Thomas -- N.J.
