HI,

What did you put #/usr/bin/ksh or /usr/bin/ksh ?

Hi,

please check, if the first (and the following lines of the script as well) does not end with a windows line termination (carriage return + linefeed).

This means that 'ksh' is complaining that the script file ./test.ksh is missing...

Edit your script with vi.
enter the following command :
:set list

and look if you have any ^M caracters at line end.
delete them if you find it.

check with an echo $PWD in you script to verify you are in the correct dir (which contains test.ksh).

i've also had your problem with a customer script, he has modified its ~/.profile file by adding :
ENV=~/.khshrc

i spent some time to find it ...

so check your environment vars.

Hi:

You probably modified (or created) you file on a Windows server and added carriage-returns to its lines. See my comments here along with the poster's problem description (which matches yours):

Hi Cedrick ,

You mean to say need to add ENV=~/.khshrc in to users .profile?

thanks.

I think Cedrick meant it was a typo in that filename that caused a similar error.

Exact Dennis,

ENV=~/.kshrc
is a typo you must not reproduce.

a user made this typo and it cause problems like yours.
so just verify your environment variables for typo if any.
