Hi, all --
Sorry I couldn't get to this yesterday... Anyone remember where we were? :-)

When I ran file on it this evening I was surprised to find that it had
CR/LF endings and so I fixed that, but that didn't cut it.
BASH-2.05a$ ./meta-play.sh
BASH: ./meta-play.sh: No such file or directory
BASH-2.05a$ !fil
file ./meta-play.sh
./meta-play.sh: ASCII text
BASH-2.05a$ head -5 !$
head ./meta-play.sh
[ -z "$1" ] && { echo "" ; echo "Whoa; gimma a disc ID like calix-01" ; echo "" ; exit 1 ; }
n="$1"
echo ""
BASH-2.05a$ df -k .

% What does it say if you do 'file meta-play.sh', ls -l of it?
Oh, right.
BASH-2.05a$ ls -l ./meta-play.sh
-rw-r--r-- 1 david unknown 907 Jun 4 19:30 ./meta-play.sh
So I tried adding a /bin/sh at the top but that didn't work:
BASH-2.05a$ head -2 !$
head -2 ./meta-play.sh
#!/bin/sh
[ -z "$1" ] && { echo "" ; echo "Whoa; gimma a disc ID like calix-01" ; echo "" ; exit 1 ; }
BASH-2.05a$ !$
./meta-play.sh
BASH: ./meta-play.sh: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: No such file or
directory
So I changed it to bash and finally got somewhere:
BASH-2.05a$ head -2 ./meta-play.sh
#!/bin/bash
[ -z "$1" ] && { echo "" ; echo "Whoa; gimma a disc ID like calix-01" ; echo "" ; exit 1 ; }
BASH-2.05a$ ./meta-play.sh
Whoa; gimma a disc ID like calix-01
Great; now we're moving! Having paid attention over the past few days,
as I write this it occurs to me that perhaps playing with chmod will let
me hit ../m and <tab> when I'm in a CD dir...
Sure enough, a simple a+x does! I still have to have the shebang line
in there, though, and so I have some other scripts to fix, but I'm on
the way.
Thanks so much, everyone!
