000017447 - Error message '/bin/bash^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory' when running an RSA NetWitness script

Error message "/bin/bash^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory" when running an RSA NetWitness script.

This error occurs because the script has been modified from a Windows workstation and has switched to DOS formatting. 
This can be confirmed by opening the script with the vi editor on the appliance, where [dos] will be seen in the bottom-left corner after the script name.

In order to revert the script to the appropriate formatting, open the script in the vi editor on the appliance

If you see ^M characters then delete the Windows Carriage Return (CR) characters from the end of the lines using the following command within vi:

:%s/\r//g

Also run the following commands:

:set ff=unix
:wq!

You will then be able to execute the script without any issue. If you require further assistance, please contact RSA Customer Support.
