shell脚本执行时报"bad interpreter: Text file busy"的解决方法

Posted 2020-10-03 ybluo

1）问题现象：

在ubuntu下执行以下脚本( while_count),报错：

 -bash: ./while_count: /bin/bash: bad interpreter: Text file busy

 

2）问题原因：

 This happens because the script file is open for writing, possibly by a rogue process which has not terminated.

3）解决办法：

Solution: Check what process is still accessing the file, and terminate it.

Run lsof (list open files command) on the script name:

lsof | grep while-count
cat 17653 me   1w REG 8,1 148 181517 /home/me/test/while-count

kill -9 17653

Now try running the script again. It works now.
