Re: Bash-script – doesn't work in a launcher

Johnny,

You answered your own question I think.

Leo

Yes, I really did… :P

I tested it right after I posted my question and found out before
reading any replies, so I was somewhat embarrassed there for a while,
since I should obviously tested it BEFORE posting, then there wouldn't
be any need for posting at all…


Kind regards

Of course the first line of the script is #! /bin/bash. Well, except a
few comment lines above it, but that shouldn't matter, should it?

So it's basically something like this:

# Comment
# Continuation of comment
# Another comment
# More comments

#!/bin/bash

The hash-bang line needs to be the first line in the script. Move that
to the top of the script, stick in a "set -x" if you want to see
what's happening under the covers.

Thanks, and also thanks to ”J” who wrote a similar reply. Yes, I moved
it to the top and now it seems to work. It still doesn't work on my
wife's computer though, I'm not sure why… She runs Ubuntu 10.04, so
maybe there are some differences there, like older bash version or
something like that. I'll take a closer look at it now.

Still I wonder why it worked with the #!/bin/bash line not at the top
when I ran it from a terminal, should it really…? Maybe because bash
is default in a terminal?


Kind regards
