Located the earlier script. It still gave the error so tried
strace and got
strace ./mktext2x.sh
execve("./mktext2x.sh", ["./mktext2x.sh"],
0x7ffc37e55570 /* 35 vars */) = -1 ENOEXEC (Exec
format error)
strace: exec: Exec format error
+++ exited with 1 +++
But running the corrected one ran fine as is and with
strace.
But then tried to run it again, and mktext2x.sh runs
without error?
Running the one with bash line, strace works fine.
strace ./mktext2.sh
execve("./mktext2.sh", ["./mktext2.sh"], 0x7ffc9afbcb80
/* 63 vars */) = 0
brk(NULL) = 0x55a016794000
The script is:
#!/usr/bin/bash
for a in $(ls -1rt status_cgi*); do
n=$(echo "$a" | sed 's/status_cgi.//g;s/status_cgi//g');
html2text -b0 "$a" >text."$n" ;
grep "^Downstream" <text."$n" | sed 's/[[:alpha:]|]//g;s/^ //g;s/ / /g' |
cut -f1,4,5,9 -d' ' >down."$n" ;
done
So, why it seems to always work with the #! line,
but seems to randomly work without it?
But always fails with strace without #! line?
Extracting cable modem status info for many saved
status_cgi files.
Strange that it isn't consistant?
