bash

[Bahman Hedayati]

Hello!
#type /usr/local/bin/bash
/usr/local/bin/bash is /usr/local/bin/bash

#file /usr/local/bin/bash
/usr/local/bin/bash: ELF-32 executable object file - IA64

#chmod 777 /usr/local/bin/bash
#/usr/local/bin/bash
sh: /usr/local/bin/bash: Execute permission denied.

And I dont have "tusc".

Thanks!

what does following command give?
type bash
id

I think the key output is this:

#file /usr/local/bin/bash
/usr/local/bin/bash: ELF-32 executable object file - IA64

The key is the IA64 at the end. It appears that this version of bash was compiled for an Itanium processor. You are attempting to run it on a PA-RISC based machine and that will absolutely NOT work.

Even though you are running 11.23PI on this machine, the code you run must still be compiled for the specific processor type you are running on.

Itanium code will NOT run on a PA-RISC. BUT PA-RISC code can run on Itanium.

I think I got it.
#file /usr/local/bin/bash
/usr/local/bin/bash: ELF-32 executable object file - IA64

You need to get bash for pa-risc.

Hello guys!
Yes, you are absolutely right! My server has a PA-RISC CPU.
And the bash-software which I have is for Itanium. And this will not work!

But anyway!
Thank you so much!
IT was valuable help!

Best regards!

Did you put it in /etc/shells?

Can you post here the output of "cat /etc/shells" ?

[Bahman Hedayati]

Hello!

#cat /etc/shells
/usr/local/bin/bash
/usr/bin/sh
/usr/bin/ksh
#

Thanks

/etc/shells is only used for redirection work like checking if the shell is valid for login or for ftp

When calling any shell directly from the prompt, /etc/shells doesn't play any role at all.
