why this simple bash script doesn't run on my G5 OS X Tiger?


Hi, All,

This is my first try to use shell scripts on Mac. And I can't figure out
why this simple script doesn't run.

$> vi testscript.sh
#!/bin/bash
echo "Hello Test"

$> ls -l
-rwxr-xr-x 1 kr kr 28 May 30 00:41 testscript.sh

$> testscript.sh
-bash: run: command not found

So, what am I missing here. I checked "Excute this
command..." as "/bin/bash", but it should run anyway according to the
guide on the Mac web site.

The command line,
$>echo "Hello"
works fine though.

Thanks in advance,

KR
