Hi All,

Anyone know how to fix the below warnings which I get when I run most  
if not all of the ./script executables, some googling reveals the odd  
mention of it but I haven’t seen a good fix for it.

It’s not causing any functional issues for me (so far), just damn  
annoying…

Thanks,  
Stephen
