The above code is for linux and on the office's linux box this script runs fine and on the box of the client this script won't run... here is the error code

[user@RW user]$ bash tomcat.sh start
: command not found
: command not found 
: command not found 
: command not found 
: command not found 
: command not found 
: command not found 
: command not found 
: command not found 
'omcat.sh: line 26: syntax error near unexpected token `{
'omcat.sh: line 26: `start(){
[user@RW user]$

wot could possibly be wrong with this... i'm sorry to post this here. but I just don't know what category this question is.

*edit
the above code works in fedora core while an error will occur in the REDHAT 9...

You should start the script use in /bin/sh rather than bash. To force a certain interpreter put this at the top of your script:

#!/bin/sh

Then make the script executable using chmod +x tomcat.sh

Also you need to make sure you have MySql installed and that the networking and functions scripts you are trying to import exist on the client system.

P.s: I put it in the General Developer forum
