ksh: /etc/profile[63]: syntax error: `done' unexpected


Hmm, this is weird.  Do you have the default /etc/profile (as installed by
the 'base-files' package), or did you customize yours?


$ ps -l
     PID    PPID    PGID     WINPID  TTY  UID    STIME COMMAND
    3852       1    3852       3852  con 91693 04:37:11 /usr/bin/ksh
     164    3852     164       2436  con 91693 04:37:22 /usr/bin/ps

What do I need to do to get rid of ": not foundrofile" errors ?


I suspect that the errors are actually '.......rofile[23]:^M:not found'
(the ^M, or CR, is doing a carriage return).  It's possible that a
bash-ism got into the default /etc/profile, or it may be a text/binary
error.  I'll check it out if I can reproduce it.



9:1 that the text is 'ksh: /etc/profile[xx]: \n: not found', which does sound like a lineend problem.


I ran into this once, when I modified /etc/profile with a text editor that didn't understand Unix newlines without paying attention. Assuming that this is the cause, and that /etc is mounted binary, dos2unix should fix it.
