I’m having some problems running a script file. I have two scripts – one works, one doesn’t. The one that doesn’t work was created by pulling lines out of the first script and modifying them to install a different program.
The script install_latest_flash_player.sh reaches out to Adobe’s website to find the URL to the latest version of Flash Player, then downloads it and installs it. This script works fine.
The script install_latest_shockwave_recopy.sh downloads the latest Shockwave DMG and installs it. The path to the latest installer does not change for Shockwave, so I stripped out the version checking. I also removed the lines relating to checking the OS version, as I’m not concerned that any of my Macs will have an old OS on them.
When I run the script to install Shockwave, the computer returns “command not found” errors for any line that isn’t an actual command (such as setting variables). If I run all of the commands manually in terminal the process works.
Some google searching found this - http://superuser.com/questions/291361/command-not-found-when-running-a-shell-script-what-did-i-break but I don't know how to use that information to fix my script, or why the original script works when it doesn't seem to call out anything different than the script I made.
Can anyone shed some light on this?
Here are the two scripts.
