Shell Script (.sh) Bad Interpreter Error: No such file or directory

Trying to run scripts to manage IBM i Web Services (directory / QIBM / ProdData / OS / WebServices / bin) from a Putty SSH session I get an error

./ myscript.sh: / usr / bin / qsh ^ M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

Doing some research on Google I discover that the problem is due to the “file-format” of the script file.

To solve the problem we can do one of these 3 things:

1. Launch the same command from a 5250 QSH / STRQSH session
2. Modify the file-format with VIM (advanced version of the VI editor) in interactive command mode (see https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/how-fix-usrbinkshm-bad-interpreter-when-using-ibm-content-manager )
   1. vim myscript.sh
   2. : set fileformat = unix
   3. : wq
3. Modify the file-format with VIM but in command-line mode (see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21828093/need-to-write-a-script-to-change-file-format-from-dos-to-unix )
   1. vim -c “wq ++ ff = unix” myscript.sh
