Don't run it on scriptname. strace is a mingw program (for hopefully obvious reasons). It can't execute shell scripts. You have to run it on the shell which is unable to find the scriptname. You indicated that scriptname ran correctly when invoked by hand so I don't see that any useful information would come about from running it via strace, even if it did work. If you really want to execute a script, the way to do it is: strace -owqwer sh script or, in your case: strace -owqwere sh -c "script" cgf -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
