Be sure that it reference bash and that the path used is also correct. As in: #!/bin/bash Be sure you have a /bin/bash.exe for the above to work. If these are correct, try running one of the scripts using the following: bash -x script_name 2>&1 | tee script_dbg.txt Depending on where the failure happens, you will see various amounts of output on the screen. It should stop at the point where the problem exists, hopefully providing a clue about what it is looking for.
