I'm making a simple script to start up my minecraft server manager in a screen session, wait for it to boot, then kill the actual server. That part works, but the change directory command keeps throwing an error:



The directory is real, and the same cd command copied into a terminal window works just fine. Any ideas? For reference, I'm on OSX 10.6.

If you look at the error it's all 'mangled up'. The message 'no such file or directory' should be behind the actual directory name like: /non/existing/directory: No such file or directory
So this looks to me like the directory name in your script, actually has some (MS-DOS?) newline at the end. Since computers are stupid, it will try to cd to a directory with a newline in it...
This of course is just a hunch.
