Hi,

Looks like this script is lacking the shebang-line telling the OS which shell executable to launch (bash is the default on linux).

Try adding

#!/bin/ksh
on the first line of the script.

You may have to install the korn shell which is not included by default in several linux distributions (for example you can download pdksh)
