The most common cause of + this problem is a script expecting <code>/bin/sh</code> to be bash checked on + a system using dash as <code>/bin/sh</code>. + . + Run e.g. <code>sh -n yourscript</code> to see the errors yourself. + . + Note this can have false-positives, for an example with bash scripts + using "extglob". |
