\nRules For Bash Files<\/strong>
\n<\/h4>\n\nDon't create the file in Widows notepad as you'll have incorrect line endings (carriage return, linefeed instead of the Unix linefeed only). This will cause the line "#!\/bin\/bash" to give this error:\n<\/p>\n
\r\n\r\n\/bin\/bash^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n^M is the carriage return character. You can correct this by opening the file in Leafpad, selecting Save As and changing the Character Coding from CR+LF to LF\n<\/p>\n
\nThings you can do
\n<\/h4>\n\nPress return to move on
\n<\/h5>\n\r\n\r\n#!\/bin\/bash\r\n\r\necho "Press return to start"\r\nread dummy\r\necho "Ok here we go"\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\nPause
\n<\/h5>\n\r\n\r\n#!\/bin\/bash\r\n\r\necho "Starting"\r\nsleep 1\r\necho "Ok here we go"\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n \n<\/p>\n
