Shell Problems

[tree740]

I'm having problems with starting my programs I get an error:
ex: I run a program called iwatch, to start the database I suppose to type: iwstart
But I get this error:
(interpeter "/bin/sh" not found. So I have type: sh iwstart
to get it to work.

May be path problem.

see if "./iwatch" will work for you

Good luck,

check the first line of your iwstart script, looks like a #! line is pointing to the wrong thing Mike

Is that a haiku?
I never could get the hang
of writing those things.

Thanks guy but I found out the problem. For some reason /bin/sh wasn't linked to /usr/bin/sh.
/bin > /usr/bin/

They shouldn't really be linked.

/bin is part of the root file system, and will be available even in single user mode when no other file systems are mounted (like /usr for example) The /bin/sh shell is a statically linked version of the sh, as I understand it, so it does not rely on any other libraries being available.

I'm surprised you didn't have a dynamically linked version of sh in /usr/bin, what version of UNIX are you running? Mike
