执行shell脚本

Question

I'm having a strange issue when I try and execute a shell script.

when I try to execute the script with ./scriptname.sh it just immediately returns to the prompt. The script has the correct permissions set. If I copy the script to another server it executes no problem at all.

I can execute other sh scripts on the server in question with no problem.

is there a way of troubleshooting this as I am at a loss?

Thanks in advance.

Best way to check the syntax errors, you can do the below.

sh -n script_name

If you wanted to execute the script and see the flow you can use the below

sh -x script_name

Hope it helps
