[xymon] DEBUG=N: is not an identifier

[Vernon Everett]

Hi

As Conrad stated, you have to set the shell line.
The very first line of your script has to start with #!/full/path/to/shell
#! must be the first characters on the very first line.

Of course, this will vary from system to system.
By default, a shell script will try run in whatever shell you are in.
However, by changing the first line, you can force it to run in a different
shell.
It's a handy way of ensuring that a shell script runs in the correct shell.

Regards
    Vernon
