sleep: 0509-020 Specify time as a positive integer.

[Roshan]

Hello Erman,

I need to execute a script on AIX test instance. Please find attached.

ACTT_AIX_Extract_Script_Instructions_v5.doc
AIX_Script_v2.sh

I am facing some issues as shown below;

Script Inturrupted. Exiting the script on a signal.
AIX_Script_v2.0.sh[41]: ^M:  not found.


Cleaning up the temporary files. Please wait ...


sleep: 0509-020 Specify time as a positive integer.
AIX_Script_v2.0.sh[45]: }^M:  not found.
AIX_Script_v2.0.sh[46]: ^M:  not found.

it seems like ^M character in your script..
You probably copied & pasted it from Windows right?

Get rid of those characters for fixing this "not found" errors.

there is binary called dos2unix, which can do that. (if you have this program in your AIX env, you can use it)
Or you can clear those characters by an advanced text editor.

which text editor will you recommend me? dos2unix does not work

Thanks :) It is working now. I was getting same error after removing ^M. In the error message, the line number was specified. It was some white spaces and comments. I got rid of those and it was O.k
