Hi

I tried to make this auto install shell script, however, it works like crap...

#!/bin/bash
mkdir /tmp/DIRECTORY
...blablabla...


it fails right there at the second line...
It doesn't create /tmp/DIRECTORY but it creates /tmp/DIRECTORY?

Anyone know what the hell is going on? :(

Run that by us again? Are the permissions in /tmp (?) set correctly?

The code you posted has a space after the direcotory name.. Remove that and then try again....

In the script it has no space - that only shows here with HTML...

So note the ? at the end...
/tmp/DIRECTORY?

Post all of it (including the ..blahblah.. stuff).

Did you edit this file online, or did you upload it? If you uploaded it, did you upload it in ascii to make sure there's no hidden characters/line feeds (although that's unlikely)?
