Interactive Script works different than File Script

[Wilkinson, Robert]

I have been tearing my hair out for days tring to solve this problem and I have tried all my available avenues. I hope you can and will help.

 

When I use the following in a script

 

#! /bin/sh

OPENJMS_HOME="/usr/java/openjms-0.7"

echo $OPENJMS_HOME/lib

 

 

 

I get the following output  "/lib/java/openjms-0.7"

 

In other words the first 4 characters of the variable are replaced by the string following the variable in the echo command

 

I would have expected "="/usr/java/openjms-0.7/lib" which is what I get when I execute this interactively.
