Re: Problem with new bash "exec" shell script command on PPC
I dont know much.. but try replacing #!/bin/sh with #!/bin/bash, and see
if it works. because in linuxppc, there is a symbolic link from sh to bash.
and there might not be the link in the debian ppc release or something. I
dont really know because I dont have debian installed... how is it?
oh well, Good luck
