Make sure you write #!/bin/ksh at the top of your file
I use this to give permission
> chmod 0755 test.ksh
Run the file
>./test.ksh
>ksh: ./test.ksh: not found <-- upps I got this error
So I try use this command
>ksh test.ksh
>test.ksh[2]: ^M: not found <--- upp this error meaning something to do with space
Use dos2unix,
>dos2unix -437 test.ksh test1.ksh
>dos2unix -437 test1.ksh test.ksh
-437 is use to avoid this error
could not open /dev/kbd to get keyboard type US keyboard assumed
could not get keyboard type US keyboard assumed
After this maybe you can delete test1.ksh.I am not sure how to dos2unix using only one file, will dig it out later
>chmod 0755 test.ksh
>./test.ksh <---- I can use this command back instead of > ksh test.ksh
