[m m]

Hi all:
I have tried:

set -x
#!/bin/sh -e

if give me:

set: unknow option
: command not found
'/svscan: syntax error near unexpected token `in
'/svscan: ./svscan: line 6: `case "$1" in

if I try:

#!/bin/sh -x

still get :bad option.
the following is the code.


#!/bin/sh -e
# /etc/init.d/svscan : start or stop svscan.

       case "$1" in
           start)
               echo -n "Starting djb services: svscan "
               env - PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH" svscan /service &
               echo $! > /var/run/svscan.pid
               echo "."
               ;;
           stop)
               echo -n "Stopping djb services: svscan "
               kill `cat /var/run/svscan.pid`
               echo -n "services "
               svc -dx /service/*
               echo -n " logging "
               svc -dx /service/*/log
               echo "."
               ;;
           restart|reload|force-reload)
               $0 stop
               $0 start
               ;;
           *)
               echo 'Usage: /etc/init.d/svscan {start|stop|restart}'
               exit 1
