Cant Execute Script

[100mbs]

I am having problems with executing this script from the command line.

Any Ideas as to what i am doing wrong? I want to set this script to be launched in Crontab also.

Here is what i type to execute.

su - user -c "/usr/local/bin/script.sh"

I get this error message...

ksh: /usr/local/bin/script.sh: cannot execute

Here is my script that i am trying to execute.

#!/bin/sh -xv
DATE_STRING=`date "+%Y%m%d0000"`
export DATE_STRING
#
find /logs/webserver/server1 ! -name "upload.me" ! -name "*.gz" ! -name "pid" ! -name access ! -name errors -exec gzip -f -q {} \;
find /logs/webserver/server2 ! -name "upload.me" ! -name "*.gz" ! -name "pid" ! -name access ! -name errors -exec gzip -f -q {} \;
find /logs/webserver/server3 ! -name "upload.me" ! -name "*.gz" ! -name "pid" ! -name access ! -name errors -exec gzip -f -q {} \;
find /logs/webserver/server4 ! -name "upload.me" ! -name "*.gz" ! -name "pid" ! -name access ! -name errors -exec gzip -f -q {} \;
#
find /logs/webserver/server1/uploads ! -name "upload.me" ! -name "*.gz" ! -name "pid" ! -name access ! -name errors ! -name access.tmp -exec gzip -f -q {}
\;
find /logs/webserver/server2/uploads ! -name "upload.me" ! -name "*.gz" ! -name "pid" ! -name access ! -name errors ! -name access.tmp -exec gzip -f -q {}
\;
find /logs/webserver/server3/uploads ! -name "upload.me" ! -name "*.gz" ! -name "pid" ! -name access ! -name errors ! -name access.tmp -exec gzip -f -q
{} \;
find /logs/webserver/server4/uploads ! -name "upload.me" ! -name "*.gz" ! -name "pid" ! -name access ! -name errors ! -name access.tmp -exec gzip -f
-q {} \;

What are the file permissions on the script?

[Blue]Blue[/Blue] [Dragon]

If I wasn't Blue, I would just be a Dragon...

Does su - user -c "sh -xv /usr/local/bin/script.sh" work? If so, it's probably a problem with the shebang line... is sh really in /bin or /usr/bin?

It was the /bin/sh in the first line. It should be /usr/bin/sh.


Thanks for your help.

That's odd. Isn't /bin usually a link to /usr/bin?

 

[biblio93]

for me the first line was false
The first line don't accept parameters
#!/bin/sh -xv
i tried
#!/bin/sh
set -xv

or the permission of the script is bad because the error is
cannot execute
r+x minimum for the user executing this script


test the script without execution with the id of user
/bin/sh -n

biblio93, you can usually add parameters to the shebang line; I regularly add -x to it when debugging scripts.

I seem to recall being told once that some Unix flavours will only accept a limited number of characters on the shebang line (32 or so?) so you can't specify many options, but that is probably obsolete information now...
