Most likely dumb but:

have written a simple script (script1) I want to run

i've used chmod +x script1 ro make it executable

when I attempt to run it i get the error:

"sh: ./script1: No such file or directory

I'm logged in as root, I can see and edit it, Why can't i run it?????????

as i said most likeley dumb but.....

If the first line contains #!, check that the program it points to actually exists. i.e. if your first line is #!/usr/bin/perl, check that /usr/bin/perl exists.

thanks in advance scsijon
