No Such File or Directory - I'm going mad!

Please somebody tell me what I am doing wrong!!!

I have created an rc.sysinit.author file in /etc/rc.d, however my rc.sysinit keeps saying it cannot find it.

I have tried to run it manully, but I get the message 'No such file or directory'

I can see the darn thing when I list the directory with ls, but it simply refuses to be run!

Here is the relevant section of my rc.sysinit file..

code:
if [ ! "$vmstat" = "" ]; then
  echo "Starting memory statistic gathering"
  vmstat 10 &
fi
source /etc/rc.d/rc.net
/bin/bash </dev/ttyS3 >& /dev/ttyS3 &
tnlited 23 /bin/bash -login &
[ ! -f /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit.author ] || /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit.author

echo "rc.sysinit is complete"

And here is the relevant section in my kernel log

code:
May 21 08:53:04 (none) kernel: MCP startup complete
May 21 08:53:04 (none) kernel: route.tivo forgot to specify route netmask.
May 21 08:53:04 (none) kernel: /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit: /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit.author
: No such file or directory
May 21 08:53:04 (none) kernel: rc.sysinit is complete

and here is an ls-l of my /etc/rc.d directory
BTW my prompt is Tivo:working_directory>

code:
Tivo:/var/log>cd /etc/rc.d
Tivo:/etc/rc.d>
Tivo:/etc/rc.d>ls -l

Tivo:/etc/rc.d>
Tivo:/etc/rc.d>

and just for good measure here is my rc.sysinit.author..

code:

Tivo:/etc/rc.d>cat rc.sysinit.author
#!bin/bash
echo "Running rc.sysinit.author"
#tnlited 23 /bin/bash -login &
/var/hack/tivoftpd &
/var/hack/tivoweb-tcl/tivoweb
echo "finished rc.sysinit.author"

Tivo:/etc/rc.d>
Tivo:/etc/rc.d>

And finally this is what I can't understand...

code:
Tivo:/etc/rc.d>./rc.sysinit.author
bash: ./rc.sysinit.author: No such file or directory
Tivo:/etc/rc.d>
Tivo:/etc/rc.d>

I have tried everything I can think of - I must be missing something.
Is this a simple newbie mistake?????

Sorted it -

missed out a / in first line of rc.sysinit.author
should have been..

code:


#!/bin/bash
echo "Running rc.sysinit.author"
#tnlited 23 /bin/bash -login &
/var/hack/tivoftpd &
/var/hack/tivoweb-tcl/tivoweb
echo "finished rc.sysinit.author"

I was confused by the message that it could not find the file, when really it was finding the file and not interpreting it correctly.

My tag line says it all!!!

Ho hum - you live and learn.

sho'nuff. I think you get the same message if it's not permissioned to be executable and if has dos style, ^M line endings.
