Hi Gordon,
I've tried your script. I had to modify line 5 to be #!/bin/sh but
the script still fails as it is written. If I modify line 16 to read
junk123/stuff.sh it seems to work fine.
I tried different variations of this including but not limited to
changing the shell to bash and trying to execute stuff.sh with bash -c
stuff.sh and sh -c stuff.sh.
The error isn't an indication that it can't find the script file
stuff.sh it is an indication that the file is locked and can't be
opened for reading. Since I used both bash and sh and received the
same results this must be a bug with the winsup source.
The only workaround is to use the relative path to the file and not
rely on the PATH environment lookup. BTW, another change I tried was
a `hash -r' command before the execution of stuff.sh.
Earnie.
