Thread: Running commands from a script do not work

hi all!

having issues script, first foray ubuntu , have read many guides, tutorials etc, please gentle!

script (copyword.sh) follows:

code:

#!/bin/sh rm -rfv /home/user/documents/exercise/* cp -rfv /home/user/documents/exerciseshare/exercisefiles/word/advanced/ /home/tp3/documents/exercise/

if run these commands individually via terminal run ok. have put them in script (as above) , when attempt tun script terminal windows flashes (opens if , closes) second , nothing happens.


attempts @ solutions:


1. adding `wait` end of script - no luck
2. right click script > properties > permissions > execute - set
3. attempted `run` , `run in terminal` - no luck

when attempt run script via terminal below error:

code:

/home/user/desktop/copyword.sh

error:

code:

bash: /home/user/desktop/copyword.sh: /bin/sh^m: bad interpreter: no such file or directory

any appreciated!

cheers,
mitchell
