I'm setting up a new VPS (Ubuntu 20.04), there is something I don't get. As root, I created a custom script in /usr/local/sbin , and I just don't manage to run it even when I use the absolute path.

root@localhost:/usr/local/sbin# sudo /usr/local/sbin/myscript.sh
sudo: /usr/local/sbin/myscript.sh: command not found

sudo bash -c 'echo "$PATH"' returns /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/snap/bin

Thank you very much for your help

    Just in case the output of ls -l /usr/local/sbin/myscript.sh? Commented Mar 21, 2022 at 11:18
  • Some of the command(s) inside the script give you this message. Try ; sudo bash -x /usr/local/sbin/myscript.sh Commented Mar 21, 2022 at 11:26
  • If this is a script, the first line should give the path to an interpreter, like #!/bin/bash -- make sure whatever is listed actually exists. Commented Mar 21, 2022 at 11:31

    Did you make the script executable? Confusingly, sudo responds command not found rather than the usual permission denied in that case. See for example sudo: ./server: command not found Commented Mar 21, 2022 at 11:47

    Thank you for your suggestions : the script was not executable... Shame on me !!! It works now, I just needed also a dos2unix to clean it Commented Mar 21, 2022 at 12:11
