Rules Du Jour Script Error

[Tracey Gates <tg...@yoursummit.com>]

I have followed the installation steps from the Rules Du Jour site
(http://www.exit0.us/index.php?pagename=RulesDuJour) and am trying to
run the script manually but I get the following error:
 
[root@yoursummit sbin]# ./rules_du_jour
: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
 
It doesn't see to like the #!/bin/bash line.  I haven't changed any of
the script and have it executable.  I have my configuration file as
/etc/rulesdujour/config as stated in the installation steps.  I have
also made sure that bash is located in the /bin directory and it is
there.  I am trying to run the script at root so there shouldn't be any
permissions problems.
 
I'm not sure why I'm getting this error or what to do to correct it.
Can someone please help me?
 
Thanks!

That is usually due to bad line endings.  Are you using cygwin?  Open 
the file in vi and do:

:set fileformat=unix
:wq

-or-

:set fileformat=dos
:wq

depending on cygwin or not (cygwin == dos, other == unix).
