When I run script to restart mongrel written in .sh file , It is not working properly. Below are the commands written in .sh file. cd /home/apps/stage/bd/log && rm mongrel.pid -f pkill -9 mongrel\_rails -u bandega cd /home/apps/stage/bd && mongrel\_rails start -e production -p 4184 -d But when I manually run all above commands one by one on terminal, It is working properly and server is started properly. Is there are some problems while running script in .sh file? Thanks in advance. ---

try breaking your script down into multiple lines and not using the && operator it looks like there are some spots in the shell script where there should be a break, such as between the ‘rm’, ‘pkill’ and the ‘cd’ ---
