RE: {bb} bb-mailq.sh - No such file or directory ???

["Hale, Barbara S - CNF" <hale.barbara@cnf.com>]

I'm wondering if you have unprintable characters at the end of your
lines.  That happens to me sometimes when I download things and ftp them
around.  The most common character is the Ctrl-M.

To check out this idea:

cat bb-mailq.sh | tr -d '^v^m' > bb-mailq2.sh   { The ctrl-v is to
insert the ctrl-m, so it won't actually appear on your screen. } 
chmod 755 bb-mailq2.sh
./bb-mailq2.sh

Just another thought,
Barbara

Thanks for the assistance Adam.  The results inline below:

This worked.  I saw "test"

[root@moe ext]# cat bb-mailq.sh >> test.sh
[root@moe ext]# ./test.sh
test
: command not found
: command not found
: command not found
'/test.sh: line 76: syntax error near unexpected token `in
'/test.sh: line 76: `case "$MAILSERVER" in

Yes sir, I sure did.

[root@moe ext]# ls -l bb-mailq.sh
-rwxr-xr-x    1 bb       bin          4229 Aug 25 15:45 bb-mailq.sh

Any other ideas?

Thanks so much for the help!
