Which shell are you writing the script in?

Are you using a valid 'hash-bang' line to specify the executing
shell or program? as in

      #!/bin/bash

as the first line.

Otherwise it will very likely revert to the 'sh' shell which uses
different syntax to 'bash' or 'csh' or 'zsh'.

Are you using the correct manual?

What are you trying to do?

Do you have any script at all?

What errors do you receive?

Is this a serious question or are you a troll?
