I have a simple script that terminates some processes and closes ports as below. I am running metasploitable.

fuser script

However, whenever I run this, it gives the below error. (note that on this file everyone has permissions)

error

to run a script it must be executable chmod +x portblock.sh then to run it you must add ./ in the beginning 

./portblock.sh

    Looks like you have a dos line ending file. The clue is the ^M. You need to re-save the file using Unix line endings. – Dababi Dec 02 '16 at 14:48

First of all make sure you have executable permission for your script.

And then,

Run your script using ./portblock.sh or using sh portblock.sh.

If you don't like to run the script with above mentioned way then update your PATH variable to the script directory.

  • file was edited by windows, you must run dos2unix portblock.sh – Archemar Dec 02 '16 at 14:47
  • @Archemar thanks. But I need to install the program which seems not to be working in Exploitable – tony9099 Dec 02 '16 at 14:49

    Yes, as @Archemar said, You should run dos2unix. Line endings should use LF not CRLF. – Thushi Dec 02 '16 at 15:05
